That's it. Part of the schema (namespace and element name)
hence 'local' (as apposed to foreign)

So markup (the attribute) is 'lost' (dumped) by the app, even if you only
open the presentation, read it, and close it?

That's what I'm chasing. That's nasty in my book.

Not even with the caveat.

That is a fair description. Even if you do support it, no need to screw
with the markup or user content.

Which is crass and plain wrong IMHO.
Due for a 'shall' clause.
