setAttributeNS(): should it change the namespace prefix? from Anne van Kesteren on 2011-11-29 (www-dom@w3.org from October to December 2011)

document.head.setAttributeNS("test", "x:a", "a")
document.head.setAttributeNS("test", "e:a", "b")

Should the result be an attribute "x:a" or "e:a"? Gecko says "e:a",  
Opera/Webkit say "x:a". Making the prefix member of an attribute  
completely immutable seems somewhat preferable to me. Opinions?
