I wouldn't class myself as an expert, but why do we need an attribute?
How about something like (please not text/xml, by the way :-):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<atom:content type="application/xml">
<newsml:whatever xmlns:newsml="<newsml namespace URI>">
...
</newsml:whatever>
</atom:content>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see a big difference between
dispatch-on-namespace-of-child-of-content (which is, I believe, legal
in Atom 1.0) and dispatch-on-namespace-attribute-on-content (which is
what I think you're proposing).
