New submission from Glenn Washburn <cr...@berlios.de>:
When using getAttributeNS, attributes with no namespace should be considered as
having the default namespace for that scope. See examples in
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#defaulting. Python's xml.dom.minidom will
always set the namespace to None for attributes that have no namespace prefix.
I've attached a test program to illustrate this issue in action. The output I
get is:
[((None, u'attr'), u'value1')]
[(('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/', 'xmlns'), u'http://path/to/ns2#'), ((None,
u'attr'), u'value2')]
[((u'http://path/to/ns2#', u'attr'), u'value3')]
Successfully got child3 attr value
In the first two cases the namespaceURI is None, but it should be set to the
default namespace specified in the root element. I believe this problem occurs
with all *NS functions. Not tested in 3.x.
