This was changed to be compatible with Node.lookupNamespaceURI(), which 
requires null to be passed to get the default namespace.  I'm not sure 
what to do about this yet, I'll have to get back to you.

I'm in the process of reviewing all the previous discussions about 
NSResolver, trying to determine whether or not this really is the most 
suitable approach.  However, this implementation experience is still 
helping a lot in evaluating all of this.
