Summary: Case where expat 1.95.6 doesn't report duplicate attributes.

Initial Comment:
I believe I found a bug in the Expat parser in
detecting duplicate attributes when using namespaces.
I'm using Expat 1.95.6 with PyXML 0.8.2.

Section 6.3 of the Namespaces 1.1 recommendation
requires that no element have two attributes with the
same expanded name. Expat 1.95.6 does indeed report a
duplicate attribute error with the example given in
that section of the document:
<?xml version="1.1"?>
<x xmlns:n1="http://www.w3.org" 
   xmlns:n2="http://www.w3.org" >
  <bad a="1"     a="2" />
  <bad n1:a="1"  n2:a="2" />
</x>

I've attached a file with the first <bad> element
removed. Expat doesn't report a duplicate attribute
error when processing this file as I believe the
recommendation requires.

Expat only supports XML Namespaces 1.0, but the bug
still applies (section 5.3 of the spec).
Will look into it.

Does this happen with previous versions of Expat?
