They don't need to be defined in the RSS 2.0 spec.  Semantics of
attributes on an element are defined by the element itself, not by the
containing document.

Do you have a reference, please?
What about:
<xx:thing yy:another="elsewhere" />
Where would you expect to the semantics of yy:another to be defined?
Maybe explaining it in terms of the infoset[0] will help. We are 
interested in two properties:

[namespace name]
[owner element]
<xx:thing yy:another="elsewhere" yetanother="..." />
yy:another: [namespace name]: some namespace
            [owner element]: xx:thing instance
yetanother: [namespace name]:
            [owner element]: xx:thing instance
No "null" namespace, just no value. It is defined only by its owner 
element and local name. It's not sharing a "null" namespace with 
unqualified element names.
