The specification doesn't say anything about qnames if attributes values as it seems to be used intensively by XHTML 2.0, for example this test.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/06/xhtml2/"
      xmlns:dc="http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-namespace/"
      xml:lang="en">
   <head>
     <title>Some Document</title>
  <style type="text/css">
     @namespace dc "http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-namespace/";

   </style>
   </head>
   <body>
     <cite property="dc:title" 
           href="urn:isbn:0060006994">Fix-it Duck</cite>
   </body>
 </html>


It seems that the CSS namespaces doesn't apply to values of attributes?
Should the CSS author rely on escaping to apply a rule?
 .dc\:title { }
