This is not a feature request, it's a bug fix request, so should be fixed asap. Why is it a bug ? XML spec says that "the default namespace does not apply to attribute names" (see section 6.3), therefore having a simple attribute name when using a default namespace is a perfectly valid scenario. Raising a ValueError in add_qname (line 864) is therefore incorrect if the qname being added is a simple name of an attribute not sure if lxml is able to parse very large documents (>4g) but I'll try it
