There is also no method to create an event object in the first place,
only implementations can create and initialize event objects. What the
namespaceURI attribute is set to by the implementation depends on the
event type. Most existing event types have no associated namespace, but
future ones (e.g., extensions specific to some implementation) might.
(I haven't looked at the test, there may well be something wrong with
it, but your characterization above is not.)
