/**
*
* DOM Level 3 WD Experimental:
* The DOM Level 3 specification is at the stage
* of Working Draft, which represents work in
* progress and thus may be updated, replaced,
* or obsoleted by other documents at any time.
* The XPathNamespace interface is returned by
* XPathResult interfaces to represent the XPath namespace node
* type that DOM lacks. There is no public constructor for this node type.
* Attempts to place it into a hierarchy or a NamedNodeMap result in a
* DOMException with the code HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR
* . This node is read only, so methods or setting of attributes that would
* mutate the node result in a DOMException with the code
* NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR.
*
The core specification describes attributes of the Node
* interface that are different for different node node types but does not
* describe XPATH_NAMESPACE_NODE, so here is a description of
* those attributes for this node type. All attributes of Node
* not described in this section have a null or
* false value.
*
ownerDocument matches the ownerDocument of the
* ownerElement even if the element is later adopted.
*
prefix is the prefix of the namespace represented by the
* node.
*
nodeName is the same as prefix.
*
nodeType is equal to XPATH_NAMESPACE_NODE.
*
namespaceURI is the namespace URI of the namespace
* represented by the node.
*
adoptNode, cloneNode, and
* importNode fail on this node type by raising a
* DOMException with the code NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR.
* importNode should also fail on XPathNamespace nodes.This was already
* fixed in the public draft.The Namespace node should be added to DOM Level
* 3 core and should be available via a read-only NamedNodeMap on element to
* reduce the confusion of adding a special node type for XPath.No change.
* There are no known problems with this add-on node type and uses beyond
* XPath are not anticipated.Node.namespaceValue should be
* identical to Node.namespaceURI and not null.No change.It is
* not clear why it should be this way since the infoset does not dictate it.
*
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 XPath Specification.
