[selectors-api] NSResolver and xml:* attributes (xml:id, xml:lang, xml:base, xml:space)

I think specification misses a paragraph (or at least a note) on handling selectors with xml:* attributes, the "xml" prefix is an exception whose namespace doesn't need to be defined explicitly.

I believe, a selector "html[xml|lang=en]" (running on the document below taken from specification) should not raise a NAMESPACE_ERR exception in case no NSResolver provided, that would currently be the case.
