http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#locate-a-namespace

"or whose namespace prefix is null and local name is "xmlns"" maybe we should ignore xmlns attributes in no namespace.

var elm = document.createElementNS('foo', 'x:y');
elm.setAttribute('xmlns', 'bar'); // no-namespace attribute
elm.lookupNamespaceURI(null); // bar per spec

We should probably just check for the XMLNS namespace instead then.
