XML and namespaces

The reality is that once the poor user has done:

element = document.createElementNS("DAV:", "href")

They are following DOM specification that they have created an element
in a namespace, and you seem to be arguing that they cannot usefully
have completed their work until they also do:

element.setAttributeNS(xml.dom.XMLNS_NAMESPACE, None, "DAV:")

I'd love to hear how many actual minidom users would agree with you.
"""

Of course (FWIW) I meant

element.setAttributeNS(xml.dom.XMLNS_NAMESPACE, "xmlns", "DAV:")
