  Whether to use the *NS flavor (DOM Level 2) or the Level 1 flavor
(no NS) depends on whether you've enabled namespaces.

  This looks like a bug to me; if namespaces are being used, case 2
should work consistently.  In the Python DOM binding, "no namespace"
is spelled using None rather than the empty string.
