The DOM 3 specification states that an NAMESPACE_ERR must be triggered on setting the prefix attribute of the Node interface under the condition: "... if the namespaceURI of this node is null ..." I would suggest changing the condition into: "... if the namespaceURI of this node is null and the new value for prefix is neither an empty DOMString or null ..." Reason: When no attempt is made to actually assign a value to the prefix an exception is superfluous, because nothing is changed.
