[webkit-dev] Null value for QualifiedName

[Eric Seidel]

I think this callsite reads better w/o the QualifiedName*, but Darin
is right, that could just be htmlTag or whatever with a comment
explaining.  This site could also crete its own:
static QualifiedName nullName(nullAtom, nullAtom, nullAtom) if it really wanted.

And you could also use any qualified name other than scriptTag, styleTag, xmpTag, or textareaTag. For example, you might think it’s logical to use bodyTag or something like that.
