Namespaces in XML states that attributes without prefixes are in no namespace, not in the default namespace:

Yes ... because the element is in the default namespace and the attribute is in no namespace.
Makes sense since unprefixed attributes are in no namespace.
Not when you take into consideration that unprefixed attributes are in no namespace.
As they should.
No, you are unaware of the constraints of the namespaces recommendation.
I hope this helps.

A question about the XSLT recommendation..
I think you'll find the answer in the Namespaces in XML recommendation.
If you add the following to your XSLT stylesheet: <test xmlns="http://test"> <xsl:attribute name="test"/> </test>
What namespace should that attribute receive?
Namespaces in XML states that attributes without prefixes are in no namespace, not in the default namespace:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-names11-20060816/#uniqAttrs
Should the result be: <test xmlns="http://test" test=""/>
Yes ... because the element is in the default namespace and the attribute is in no namespace.
The XSLT 2.0 recommendation states: "If the namespace attribute is not present, then the lexical Qname is expanded into an expanded-QName using the namespace declarations in effect for the xsl:attribute element, not including any default namespace declaration."
Makes sense since unprefixed attributes are in no namespace.
The xsl:attribute has no namespace attribute, and the lexical Qname contains no prefix. But since de default namespace declaration should not be included in resolving/expanding the Qname, I would expect the latter result should appear.
Not when you take into consideration that unprefixed attributes are in no namespace.
However, the latter is not valid according to: (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#ns-decl, 2nd paragraph or so)
..nor does any of the common implementations give that result, the all return the first..
As they should.
Am I misinterpreting the XSLT recommendation?
No, you are unaware of the constraints of the namespaces recommendation.
