[cddlm] CDL: question about attributes and namespaces

[Steve Loughran]

Imagine I have a base declaration of a component, say

     <cmp:OnFault cdl:extends="cmp:Notification" faultName="" 
faultType="" />


now, imagine I extend that in a new namespace



Should I put the attributes in the namespace of the component I extend

     <tns:MyFault cdl:extends="cmp:OnFault" 
cmp:faultName="DeploymentFault"  />

Or can they be left as is:

     <tns:MyFault cdl:extends="cmp:OnFault" faultName="DeploymentFault"  />

That is, when we merge attributes, do we use the full QName, or just the 
localname. I know it would appear to make sense to use the full qname, 
but the trend to use unqualified attributes may cause confusion here. I 
know my parser already warns whenever it hits an unqualified extends="" 
attr, as that is often a result of me forgetting that namespace....
