------- Comment #3 from ap at nypop.com  2006-09-20 04:07 PDT -------
The DOM3 spec is rather unclear on this. The normative section doesn't specify
the behavior of lookupNamespaceURI, referring to a non-normative appendix(!).
According to this appendix
<http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/namespaces-algorithms.html#lookupNamespaceURIAlgo>,
WebKit behavior is correct.

However, Mozilla developers have apparently decided that this is a mistake in
the spec: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246604>,
<http://www.nabble.com/DOM3-Core:-Namespaces-Algorithms-vs-xml:-and-xmlns:-t766498.html>.

Confirmed for further nvestigation, added a test case to bug URL (works in
current Minefield, but not in Firefox 1.5). Downgrading priority and severity,
since no practical consequences have been reported.
