Incidentally, judging by this posting:

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2003JulSep/0141.html

it would seem that in the next draft (CR) of DOM 3 Core, it will be
required for implementations to accept '' as an input value to
functions that accept a namespaceURI, as an alternative to None.
How irritating! It seems to me this is *more* likely to cause bugs
in XML applications...
