Close, but not quite.  You can't assume that a namespace will always be defined at the root of the document, so for some elements you may have to import a namespace.  Giving more thought to it, it may work with your current model with two entries:

<attribute name="xmlns:xlink" value="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink <http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink> "/>

<attribute name="xlink:href" value="http://www.jabber.org"/>

Together, the above entries should inline a reference to the xlink namespace and also define an xlink-namespaced attribute "href".
