My change is checking to see if the attribute name starts with "xmlns:" 
and if so, check to see if that namespace has already been declared.  If 
so, skip it.  No problem there.

I'd like a bit of evidence beyond a declaration: James, why do you
think that your changes would not make a valid DOM produce bad stuff?
What about if someone's using the default namespace?

Also, Sam, in general I don't support the principle of becoming bug
compatible.

I like your list BTW; its a concise summary of the problem.
