(Feature Request/Issue) Nokogiri does not support css selector for namespaced attributes

[kaide]

Hi i want to manipulate xml files where the attributes have namespace(sql server SSIS package).
I cannot query which elements has attributes' value containing "partial string".
If the attributes does not have any namespace; I can run my query.
too bad my xml contains namespaced attributes.

Just want to inform actual use case of xml document with namespaced attributes. I undestand the dev team is busy.

Thank you

the sample code if needed is at stackOverflow

For posterity, the code linked to above looks like:

xmlContent = %Q|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ns1:el1 xmlns:ns1="blabla" >
    <ns1:el2 ns1:att="123">with namespace</ns1:el2 >
    <ns1:el2 att="noNameSpace">no namespace</ns1:el2 >
</ns1:el1>|
xml_doc  = Nokogiri::XML(xmlContent)

#no namespace
result = xml_doc.css('ns1|el2[att]')
result.each {|i| puts i}

#with namespace
result = xml_doc.css('ns1|el2[ns1|att]') #error unexpexted '|'
result.each {|i| puts i}

Targetted for release in 1.5.1.

Thanks; for now I use the xpath syntax for namespaced attributes.
