Q: Namespace-URI for NS attributes

[Christian Geuer-Pollmann <ma...@nue.et-inf.uni-siegen.de>]

Question:

if I use Xerces 1.3.0 (validating) to parse an XML document containing the 
attribute

xmlns:a="http://www.ex.org/"

, I get to following values:

Attr.getPrefix() == "xmlns"
Attr.getName() == "xmlns:a"
Attr.getLocalName() == "a"
Attr.getNamespaceURI() == "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/"

If I use Xerces v1.3.1 (also with setValidating(true)) instead, I get

Attr.getNamespaceURI() == ""

Why points the v1.3.0 NamespaceURI to the NS specification, and the v1.3.1 
does not?
