As far as I know in XML, attributes without an explicit namespace prefix 
are not in any namespace at all. Default namespaces don't apply to 
attributes.

ZPT seems to have a different interpretation, perhaps. Though in the end 
the processor determines what to do with attributes, of course. It's 
just that XML processors shouldn't place an attribute into a namespace 
unless there is an explicit prefix.
