We agree. The way I see it, namespaces are the easiest way to prevent this
from happening, that is for new applications "x:style" is a better option
than "style" (btw: by 'global attribute' do you mean a non namespace
prefixed attribute?), for XHTML of course interop with HTML limites the
choice of names and AFs are the simplest way to map the attribute "style" ->
"html:style".***

*** using xml:attribute="html:style style" is essentially an AF renamer-att,
the only difference being that AFs are defined, i.e. have a defined API
whereas xml:attribute needs to be implemented, though this could be done
fairly easily via a SAX filter.
