In the Dec draft, doesn't

<type>
...
	<anyAttribute>http://www.foo.com/namespace/foo<anyAttribute>
</type>

introduce attributes from other than the namespace partition scoped to the
containing element?

Are you saying that <anyAttribute> has been removed from subsequent WG
documents and the point is moot.

Another alternative would be to provide some indication that one attribute
group is the namespace scope attribute pool.  But you could not depending on
just finding "baz" in a top level attribute group since it could appear in
multiple top-level attribute groups.
