Inferring that attributes which are in an explicit namespace are the same might be reasonable. But inferring that attributes which are not in a namespace are the same because they happen to be spelled the same may produce false positives.
I'm a little tired right now so might be missing something obvious, but if you accept this latter point, then why shouldn't you also accept the same interpretation for element names - i.e.
<item /> and <item />
may not actually be the same..?
Because attributes and elements are not treated the same way by XML Namespaces, the same interpretation need not apply.
