But in this case it's not a matter of using a namespace prefix without 
declaring the namespace.  This is a matter of using setAttributeNS with 
an explicit namespace string... and the DOM implementation proceeding to 
ignore that string and infer a namespace from the name of the attribute 
instead.  Or something.

I think we agree that ASV's pretty broken, though.  ;)
