[xep-support] Namespace issue?

[G. Ken Holman]

Hello once again!

According to 2.2  "An element from the XSL namespace may have any attribute 
not from the XSL namespace, provided that the expanded-name of the 
attribute has a non-null namespace URI.".

The test below gives me an warning when I turn validate to false ... I 
think the message is misleading because it doesn't include the full name of 
the attribute, and I think the warning is misleading since foreign 
attributes are allowed.

I hope this helps.
