Subject: Re: [xml-dev] attributes with same name and different prefix
This is legal. If Xerces complains, it's a bug.
Note that "src", when used as an attribute name (src="bar") is not a namespace prefix. In order to be a namespace prefix, it would have to be followed by a colon and a local name -- for example, src:attrname or even src:src.

Is this illegal (to have two attributes with same name and different prefixes, one of them specifying a namespace prefix association):
<foo src="bar" xmlns:src="some-uri" />
MSXML accepts it without problem, but I've been told that several versions of Xerces complains.
