Research direction

Start by locating AttributeEventImpl.writeUsing() and inspect its parameter order against the method signature and callers. Confirm the namespace and localPart values are passed consistently, then run the relevant existing test suite or add coverage for the corrected ordering.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

AttributeEventImpl.writeUsing() passes on parameters in the wrong order.
It is probably rarely/not used, otherwise the bug should have surfaced much earlier?
I'll provide a PR to fix it.
