   Re: [xml-dev] Invalid attribute names

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

An attribute name of ":test" implies a blank prefix name, which is
illegal.

With an attribute name of "x:test:a", it is unclear which is the
namespace prefix and which is the local part.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards,
