-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A brief but partial response, as a full one will take some time. 1) Unprefixed attributes are never in a namespace. 2) The intention of the phrase "determined by the element" is that given an unprefixed attribute the _semantics_ of that attribute are the responsibility of its owner element. Thus in e.g. <person title=...> and <book title=...> the title attribute may receive very different interpretations. 'person' and or 'book' may be in a namespace, in which case you have a good idea of where to look for information about those elements and, in turn, their unprefixed attributes.
