Re: Node.namespaceURI

Note that not all languages have a clear "null" value for strings (or for
other types). It's up to the binding to define what Null will be mapped to.

But I believe there are places in the DOM API where null and empty string
must be distinguishable, so even if null must be implemented as a reserved
string value (ugh!) making it the empty string would appear likely to
violate DOM compliance.
