           Summary: 'setAttribute' on a DOM element erroneously assumes a
                    namespace, leading to a failure to set an attribute's
                    value.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 417.x
          Platform: Macintosh

                    cases/safari/attribute-namespace/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XML DOM

At the URL for this bug, please find a complete and minimalist test case.

This bug found on: Safari Version 2.0.3 (417.9.3), on Mac OS X 10.4.6

See the W3C's specification on how what the behavior should be. It is located
at:

http://www.w3.org/2003/01/dom2-javadoc/org/w3c/dom/Element.html#setAttribute_java.lang.String__java.lang.String_

In particular, note that in this method description the w3c says "To set an
attribute with a qualified name and namespace URI, use the setAttributeNS
method."

Please note that this works correctly on Firefox and Internet Explorer,
supporting important functionality on the Web.
