That's not a bug. As far as the DOM Level 2 is concerned every namespace declaration attributes is, by definition, bound to "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/";. These are attributes whose the prefix is "xmlns" or the qualifed name is "xmlns" (default namespace declaration). This was recently decided so no public document reflects this yet but, I'm the editor of the Core section of the DOM Level 2 spec so you can trust me on that. ;-) This decision has been ratified by the XML Core WG and will be stated in the next revision of the Namespaces for XML specification. Until then, I think we'll have to live with this discrepancy. -- Arnaud Le Hors - IBM Cupertino, XML Technology Group
