"It is not possible to override the Translate data category settings of attributes using local markup."

I think that what you mean to say here is that it is not possible to set the Translate data category value for an attribute independent of the element in which is resides.  At the moment it seems to suggest that attributes are not affected at all by the Translate setting, which I don't believe to be the case (and it's certainly not the case for the HTML5 translate attribute).

In example 33 it may also be worth repeating that translate is an existing attribute in HTML5.
