The value of [attributes] is a set of attribute information items, unordered and each identified by [namespace name] and [local name]. We use the phrase "the xxx:yyy [attribute]" to mean that attribute information item in [attributes] whose [namespace name] is linked to the prefix "xxx" and whose [local name] is "yyy". I don't think it is necessary to abuse the bracket notation by using "[attribute]". I suggest we simply say "the xxx:yyy attribute"; everyone will understand. 22309 1 David_E3 2008-10-31 19:01:55 +0000 The WG voted to resolve this as won't fix. 22312 2 davep 2008-10-31 20:03:00 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > The WG voted to resolve this as won't fix. Actually, I believe the WG agreed that we could/should add a note of some sort explaining the "abuse of notation".
