I don't think you're doing anything especially wrong.  This looks like a
bug in pulldom.  Seems as though it can't handle "global" attributes
when fed from parsers that don't report namespace prefix mappings.

IOW, 

<p3p:PURPOSE appel:connective="or">
             ^^^^^^

breaks in this case.

This will probably require some work in PullDOM to address :-(

Man, you seem to have the worst luck here.
