From section 3.2.2 [1]

	If the <attribute> element information item has
	<schema> as its parent, the corresponding schema
	component is as follows:

		{target namespace}	The *actual value* of the
		targetNamespace [attribute] of the parent <schema>
		element information item, or *absent* if there is none.

	otherwise if the <attribute> element information item has
	<complexType> or <attributeGroup> as an ancestor and the
	ref [attribute] is absent, it corresponds to an attribute use
	with properties as follows:

		{target namespace}	If form is present and its
		*actual value* is qualified, or if form is absent and
		he *actual value* of attributeFormDefault on the <schema>
		ancestor is qualified, then the *actual value* of the
		targetNamespace [attribute] of the parent <schema>
		element information item, or *absent* if there is none,
		otherwise *absent*.
