Yes it is ... have you encountered any problems using it?

There are no duplicate attribute names in your document 
element.  There are no elements with two attributes of the same local 
name with two explicit namespace prefixes whose URI strings are the same value.

XML imposes no restrictions on duplicate attribute content ... only 
on the duplicate expanded name of attributes, which isn't allowed.

I hope this helps.

p.s. is anyone else experiencing *very* slow distribution of their 
posts to XML Dev today?
