Description Andrew Clover 2004-05-22 20:41:18 UTC 
The DOM L3 Core test:

  elementsetidattributens05

Mixes Level 1 and 2 methods dangerously. It sets an ID attribute using Level 2
methods, with the same nodeName as an existing attribute but different
namespaceURIs. As per 1.3.3, this should result in two attributes with the same
nodeName on one element.

The test then tries to retrieve the ID attribute using a Level 1 method,
attributes.getNamedItem. This could return either of the two attributes at
random, causing the following test for ID-ness to fail intermittantly.
