i guess the infoset gets it just right by defining that namespace
declarations are in fact attributes, but special attributes. telling
people that namespace declarations are not attributes seems to be
motivated (at least i think so) by the attempt to save people from poor
implementations which are not smart enough to see namespace declarations
as special attributes (and maybe they should even complain if people try
to create 'regular' attributes which appear to have namespace
declaration syntax).
