Barf!  Structured attributes are evil.

But what if you don't have a <grammar> element?

And what about order dependency?  If you require <prefix> declarations
before the use of a prefix, then you've lost the order independence of the
children of <grammar>.  If you don't, then I think implementation will be
tricky.
