IBM The method setPrefix raises a NAMESPACE_ERR if this node is an attribute and the specified prefix is "xmlns" and the namespaceURI of this node is different from "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/". Create a new attribute node whose namespaceURI is different form "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/" and node prefix is "xmlns". Check if the NAMESPACE_ERR was thrown. Neil Delima 2002-04-28
