Samisa, I think that is what the ref counts protect us against. In my app, where I do a shallow copy of the tree including the ref counted attributes, the original tree is released when the response message is freed via the adb classes. But the attributes are still present, as their ref counts were two and so were not released when they were decremented. The same should be true of the namespaces, provided they are re-declared on the detached node when it and its subtree are detached.
I have a test case with attributes having namespaces, as you may have inferred from the issue I wrote against the adb classes. I've coded a fix to axiom_node_detach to re-declare the namespaces when the node is detached. I don't expect to be able to test the code until this evening, but when I do you will be able to review the diff.
