I don't think adopting this change will break backwards compatibility:
the information that users get today will remain unchanged. We will
provide one additional piece of information - namespace for namespace
attributes and I don't see how this may break users code... ?

I believe that it is better to try to expose consistent information via
different APIs (e.g. DOM/SAX).
Since Infoset and DOM already require assigning a namespace to NS
attributes and I think it is only a matter of time the Namespace spec
requires it too, it is better to have a consistent model.

For more information, please refer to http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/
documentation.
