This has to do with the distinctness of attribute names, not their values. Please see Appendix A of the "Namespaces in XML" recommendation[1] (sections 2 and 3 in particular).
I think I understand.
I am hoping your example represented a misunderstanding of the OpenDocument specification, rather than a pervasive misunderstanding of XML namespaces in OpenDocument itself[2]...
Very likely. I am not very knowledgeable of the subject. Please don't take my comments as authoritative on OpenDocument, they are not. If I say something that just doesn't make sense, then I'm probably wrong. :-)
Question: Could it be that when the tag says:
<draw:rect ... svg:width="7.62cm" ... >
That 'svg:width' refers to:
<ExpAName name='width' eltype="rect" elns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"/>
And when it says:
<draw:ellipse ... svg:width="11.43cm" ... >
That 'svg:width' refers to:
<ExpAName name='width' eltype="ellipse" elns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"/>
Is this possible? I don't understand XML well enough to know this myself.
Cheers,
