I don't see what the default namespace has to do with the attribute
issue.  Unprefixed attributes are *not* in the default namespace.

The "obviously stupid" example

  <x:foo x:att="one" att="two"/>

does not use the default namespace in any way, and would be equally
legal and stupid if the default namespace didn't exist.
