#271 xmlwf -n on file which uses a ':' as attribute name
xmwf -n on file
<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ELEMENT doc (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST doc : CDATA #IMPLIED>
]>
<doc :="v1"></doc>
reports valid/sa/012.xml:3:14: syntax error
as it does not like ':' as an attribute name.
I'm not quite sure whether this is a bug or not - cf.

Not a bug. expat is right. You've quoted even the right
productions, to decide this. (4) says, that a NCName must
have at least one char and a colon isn't allowed. (By the
way: I always thought, that NCName stands for non colon
name, but could not found a source for that, at the moment).
Prefix (7) and Localpart (8) are both NCNames. A colon in
the QName is therefor only possible, if the QName has a
prefix. Since the prefix must have at least one char, the
att name in your example hasn't a prefix.
Note, that your document is a wellformed XML document - and
xmlwf (without -n) confirms this. It's only not a wellformed
namespaced XML document.

Closing as not-a-bug, for the reason explained by Rolf.

Just for letting you guys know, NCN stands for "non-
colonized" Names, you can check

20041028/datatypes.html#NCName for NCName full description.
