Thanks for reminder Rex, I forgot about this 1st deadline.

I think that using unqualified attributes for Strict if Strict is put
into a new namespace is of very high-priority. If naming is going to be
changed radically it should be done only once and completely. This topic
was already briefly discussed in e-mail and I'm going to file detailed
DR within next few days.

Just for getting more context, there is initial e-mail comm:

"But when we are changing all element and attribute names effectively we
probably should fix one additional naming issue at the same time.

OOXML uses very bad habit of qualified attributes. For example you have
to write:

<w:sz w:val="24"/>

instead of more common:

<w:sz val="24"/>

I'm proposing to extend this namespace change for Strict by additional
change which will move attributes which are currently in the same
namespace as their element to "null" namespace. This will significantly
clean language and now when we are changing all names completely it is
the only and last chance to do it."
