Element.setAttributeNS() empty namespace does not throw exception

XMLWordPrintable

      W3 specs states that empty strings can not be used as a namespace names [1], but Element.setAttributeNS() wrongly allows it.

      org.w3c.org.Element#setAttributeNS should honor this requirement by throwing NAMESPACE_ERR DomException [2]
