If by 'interpret' you mean 'associate each attribute with
a namespace (or not, as the case may be)', the correct interpretation
is the one you reproduce.  If by 'interpret' you mean something
else, like mapping into some appliction semantics, then that
depends on the definitions of the elements and attributes you
are using.

All of the attributes should be associated with the element.
All of them occur on the element's start-tag.  You don't need
to choose among them.

I hope this helps.
