Element.removeAttributeNS() doesn't replace the attribute with default value

Name: inR10064 Date: 11/17/2000



  JAXP 1.1 method
        org.w3c.dom.Element.removeAttributeNS(String namespaceURI, String localName)
        
does not replace the attribute which has a default value. Instead of this it removes
the attribute (See test.java below).

  Definition of the method in p. 1.2 "Fundamental Interfaces" of DOM Level 2 Core
(http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-745549614) says:

" removeAttributeNS introduced in DOM Level 2
      Removes an attribute by local name and namespace URI. If the removed
      attribute has a default value it is immediately replaced. "

  This bug presents in build jaxp-1.1ea2-b10-03_nov_2000
and affects the new test in TCK JAXP 1.1
