  I actually looked at that last week an you may be correct, but
I need to double check. The usual weirdness is that attributes without
an explicit namespace do not get assigned to a default namespace if it
exists. That's one of the things which leads to such surprize, but the
code might be wrong, I just didn't fully checked yet,
