The DocBook schema doesnât have to validate them, but it must allow
them. (You can tease apart a document and validate different sections
with different schemas using NVDL, but I donât think you can validate
the structure and some attributes with one schema and other attributes
on the same elements with a different schema.)

Given that you thought it was done with NVDL and I thought it just
worked, I infer that we both thought it was possible.

Iâm tempted to squeeze it into a 5.2CR3. Lots of vocabularies allow it
and it doesnât do any harm. (The question came up in relation to a use
case with a DocBook user.)
