           Summary: lookupNamespaceURI for "xml" and "xmlns" does not return
                    the corresponding namdespaceURI
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 419.x
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org

>From the recommendation:
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-names-20060816/#ns-decl)

"The prefix xml is by definition bound to the namespace name
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. It MAY, but need not, be declared, and
MUST NOT be bound to any other namespace name. Other prefixes MUST NOT be bound
to this namespace name, and it MUST NOT be declared as the default namespace."

"The prefix xmlns is used only to declare namespace bindings and is by
definition bound to the namespace name http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/. It MUST
NOT be declared . Other prefixes MUST NOT be bound to this namespace name, and
it MUST NOT be declared as the default namespace. Element names MUST NOT have
the prefix xmlns."

Some discussion in bug 6638 (
http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6638) indicated these
namespaceURI's should not be returned for the correpsonding reserved prefixes.
I cannot find any support for that view in the recommendation and definnitely
think those correct values should be returned.
