Exactly how to find these attributes which match those six characters

choose whichever method is most appropriate for the environment the

found looping through the Node.attributes collection and checking the
name property of each to be an effective method. That's the method
I've used in Javascript and in Perl (libxml).
Yes, exactly. Another strategy is to walk up the tree discovering
prefix declarations. I have a sample implementation that does this and
caches the results so that it is not super-inefficient. It just depends
on what you are trying to accomplish. There's a version of that library
in the XHTML2 wiki at [1].
