No, I did not say that attributes "inherit their namespace setting from the parent element". I said that they are qualified by their element. That is, in <b:a xmlns:b="foo:bar" c="xyz"> it is "as if" c were actually b:a:c except, of course, that this syntax is illegal. >[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#defaulting > >However, now look at the last example of Section 5.3.
