Description Andrew Clover 2004-05-22 20:14:29 UTC 
The DOM L2 Core tests:

  createAttributeNS06
  createDocument08
  createDocumentType04
  setAttributeNS10

try to use an empty string for a qualifiedName, expecting INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR.
  However NAMESPACE_ERR is equally possible as this is as much a 'malformed
qualified name'.
