           Summary: REGRESSION (r20997): createAttribute is supposed to
                    create an Attr with localName of null
                    (LayoutTests/dom/xhtml/level3/core/nodeisequalnode14.xht
                    ml)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 523.x (Safari 3)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW

          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P1

* SUMMARY
Subversion revision r20997
<http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/20997> caused
LayoutTests/dom/xhtml/level3/core/nodeisequalnode14.xhtml to regress.  The
explanation given in the LayoutTests/ChangeLog entry was:

* dom/xhtml/level3/core/nodeisequalnode14-expected.txt: This test fails because
createAttribute is supposed to create an Attr with localName of null.

This bug was filed to track this regression and (potentially) fix
createAttribute.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Safari/WebKit.
2. Open LayoutTests/dom/xhtml/level3/core/nodeisequalnode14.xhtml in the
browser.

* RESULTS
The test fails.

* REGRESSION
This is a regression from r20997.  In WebKit nightly builds before r20997, this
test passed.  Note that the test did not work at all in shipping Safari 2, and
was failing by the time Safari 3 was released.

* NOTES
See Bug 5262 for the original bug fix that caused the regression.
