Hi,
From http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407/ it is
not clear how lookupPrefix and lookupNamespaceURI behave for the special
xml: and xmlns: namespaces. I would expect
lookupNamespaceURI('xml') == 'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace' &&
lookupNamespaceURI('xmlns') == 'http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/' &&
lookupPrefix('http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace') == 'xml' &&
lookupPrefix('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/') == 'xmlns'
to hold true for any Node regardless of the actual state of the tree,
this however does not seem to be required or licensed by the DOM Level 3
Core Recommendation; https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246604
implementers don't care much about that though, so in Mozilla we now
have the surprising result that lookupNamespaceURI behaves as I would
expect, but lookupPrefix does not.
regards,
