  I'll say!  I was quite shocked when I saw your message; it took a
minute to figure out what you were referring to!
  Now, were there a way to distinguish between DOM's built with and
without namespaces, it might be a good idea to raise an exception if
a colon would appear in a localName for a namespace-mode DOM.
(Hmm... doc.documentElement.localName should be true in namespace
mode, and false otherwise, but I'm not sure that's how all the DOM
implementations actually work.)
