The motivation for my question was this xsl (partial) example:
<xsl:attribute-set name="set2" use-attribute-sets="set3">
<xsl:attribute name="text-decoration">underline</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
the "use-attribute-sets" attribute, if it belongs to no namespace cannot
then be interpreted as including the "set3" attribute-set within
"set2". However, a few of the popular XSL processors go ahead and
interpret it as belonging to the xsl namespace, including "set3".
The xsl spec mentions specifically that use-attribute-sets is an
attribute from the xsl namespace.
