these examples _all_ have different namespace names for the local element
this-ns and the attribute that-ns:

<example xmlns="http://example.org">
	<this-ns that-ns="1"/>
</example>

<example xmlns:foo="http://example.org">
	<this-ns:foo that-ns="1"/>
</example>

<example xmlns:foo="http://example.org"
	   xmlns:bar="http://example.org/bar">
	<foo that-ns:bar="1"/>
</example>

<example xmlns:foo="http://example.org"
	   xmlns:bar="http://example.org/bar">
	<this-ns:foo that-ns:bar="1"/>
</example>

that is, an attribute _DOES NOT EVER_ inherit the namespace of its
containing element.
