Consider the case, where a DOM Level 1 (i.e. namespace unaware) application processes a document with namespaces in it, on top of a DOM Level 2 implementation. The implementation namespace aware parser creates all the nodes with their apropriate namespaceURIs. All of the application calls to getNamedItem then fail. -- Arnaud Le Hors - IBM Cupertino, XML Technology Group
