Yeah, verified - this was really weird until we figured out what was
going on. Seems to be a bug in jQuery. I checked the source and there is
no mention of matching against a "prefix" string in the code anywhere,
however Node has a prefix attribute that is exposed via DOM Level 2:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-NodeNSPrefix
When you do jQuery.Node.attr("prefix", "foo"), it'll change the Node's
namespace prefix to "foo". This is not the correct behavior, AFAICT.
You can get around it by using Element.setAttribute() and
Element.getAttribute().
For example:
d = $("<div><p/></div>");
d.children("p")[0].setAttribute("prefix", "dc: http://purl.org/dc/terms/");
and
d.children("p")[0].getAttribute("prefix");
Someone might want to log a bug on jQuery...
