Hi, Joe-
| this is wrong, at least given the way I parse that sentence.
|
| unprefixed attributes aren't in any namespace at all. that
| surprised me a fair bit when I was trying to grok XML namespaces.
|
| in practice, it doesn't seem to matter much. once you've
| used a namespace to disambiguate a given element, there's not
| usually room for confusion at the attribute level. so people
| seem to generally manage with unprefixed (and therefor
| un-namespaced) attributes. but if for some reason you do
| want to put an attribute into a namespace, you must prefix
| the attribute name.
Yes, I do believe you're right, both about them not being in a namespace,
and about it being non-intuitive. ;)
I guess what I wanted him to take away from that was that he didn't need to
prefix most attributes, but that there were exceptions. But I did misstate
it.
Thanks for the correction.

Doug
