Because the dir attribute is defined by an I-D, Sam has agreed to change
the validator to return a warning instead of an error but this opens up
a more general question about the use and treatment of non-namespaced
extension attributes within Atom.
I don't understand how this can ever be a validation error. Atom doesn't
disallow them, XML doesn't disallow them.
(the point made later about the RNC disallowing non-namespaced
attributes is neither here not there)
