I don't see any dificulties in that one. Taking the
cdata-section-elements attribute from the XSLT namespace as an example
(from [1] ):
"The cdata-section-elements attribute contains a whitespace-separated
list of QNames. Each QName is expanded into an expanded-name using the
namespace declarations in effect on the xsl:output element in which the
QName occurs; if there is a default namespace, it is used for QNames
that do not have a prefix."
