Ok, I couldn't get my head around the namespace spec+errata, so
decided to try a little code, put my trust in Sun instead. I'm still
not 100% certain, but it does still look to me like the lack of prefix
on the attributes is a bug. I used SAX2 in JDK 1.4, the handler being:
public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName,
String qName, Attributes attributes) {
System.out.println("\nElement ns = '" + namespaceURI+"' name = '"
+ localName+"'");
for (int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++) {
System.out.println("attr ns = '" + attributes.getURI(i) + "' name = '"
+ attributes.getLocalName(i) + "'");
}
}
Running this on http://tools.search.yahoo.com/mrss/mrss-4.xml which
contains lines like:
<media:content url="http://www.foo.com/song128kbps.mp3";
fileSize="2000" bitrate="128" type="audio/mpeg" expression="full">
yielded:
Element ns = '' name = 'rss'
attr ns = '' name = 'version'
Element ns = '' name = 'channel'
Element ns = '' name = 'title'
Element ns = '' name = 'link'
Element ns = '' name = 'description'

Indeed they are!
