This does not make much sense to me, it is either not possible to write
a test case for the first requirement in which case this would be an im-
plementation detail which is out of scope of the specification, or it is
possible to write such a test case in which case this would render Atom
inconsistent with a broad range of XML technologies, e.g., for
<atom:foo bar="baz" />
an XPath expression
*[namespace-uri() = $x)]/@*[namespace-uri() = $x]
where $x is the Atom namespace URI would be allowed to match. I am -1 on
any proposal that allows or requires to put Atom-defined attributes on
Atom elements in any namespace or process Atom documents as if they were
constructed like that if you can tell the difference.
