Section 5.3 says:

"If the XML API is namespace-aware, the tool must ensure that proper
([namespace name], [local name], [normalized value]) namespace tuples are
created when converting the non-XML mode DOM into an Infoset."

But which are the "proper" namepace tuples? The example implies they are
created by attributes with xmlns: in the name, but those have no special
meaning in HTML5 and do not normally declare a namespace, so it's not clear,
without being more specific, what is "proper".
