It needs to be made explicit that attributes at its:span are not namespace qualified. E.g., we have <its:span translate="no"> ... but not <its:span its:translate="no"> ... Targets: The ODD definition which currently describes these attributes as *namespace qualified*, and http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/CR-its-20061102/#selection-local .
Closed with proposal at http://www.w3.org/2007/01/31-i18nits-minutes.html#action12 and the change of the ODD schema (copying the attributes in a namespace qualified and non namespace qualified version).
