[webkit-dev] Request for Position: Add 'xml' special handling to Node.lookupNamespaceURI()

I'd like to request an official WebKit position on updating
Node.lookupNamespaceURI() [1] so that it returns the XML namespace URI for
"xml" prefix by default.  It would simplify the implementation
of XPathEvaluator.createNSResolver() significantly, and Firefox already
supports this behavior. [2]

This is a RFP to change the DOM specification.
