Another addition that would make this (or Murata-san's option 1) a bit less painful is to special-case the "xml" prefix. Although special-casing is generally bad, both the XML 1.0 Rec and the XML Namespaces Rec special-case this prefix, and the implicit declaration of the "xml" prefix makes this inherently a special-case. One important reason for special-casing the "xml" prefix is to support the needs of the "don't care about XML namespaces" constituency. This constituency ought to be able to use the xml:space, xml:lang and xml:base attributes without being forced to use the XML Namespaces Rec. Particularly, the xml:lang attribute is important for I18N, and it ought to be made convenient to declare. I would therefore propose that with option E: <attribute name="xml:lang"> is allowed as an abbreviation for <attribute name="lang" namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"> and similarly for "space" and "base".
