+ +============================================================================+
+ | DESCRIPTION |
+ Xerces accepts NS declarations of the form of:
+
+ <test xmlns:x='' />
+
+ However, the empty string is not a valid namespace name. It's only allowed in
+ namespace "undeclarations" where the (unqualified) default namespace is reset.
+
+ Quote from <http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xml-names-19990114/#ns-decl>:
+
+ [Definition:] If the attribute name matches PrefixedAttName, then the NCName
+ gives the namespace prefix, used to associate element and attribute names with
+ the namespace name in the attribute value in the scope of the element to which
+ the declaration is attached. In such declarations, the namespace name may not
+ be empty.
+
+ [Definition:] If the attribute name matches DefaultAttName, then the namespace
+ name in the attribute value is that of the default namespace in the scope of
+ the element to which the declaration is attached. In such a default
+ declaration, the attribute value may be empty. Default namespaces and
+ overriding of declarations are discussed in "5. Applying Namespaces to Elements
+ and Attributes".
