Summary: xmlwf -n on file which uses a ':' as attribute name

Initial Comment:
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.
