Andreas Veithen commented on WSCOMMONS-278:
-------------------------------------------
The DOM contract requires the getNamespaceURI to return null if the node
doesn't have a namespace URI. Since ElementImpl implements getNamespaceURI
according to DOM, it would not satisfy the definition of
OMElement#getNamespaceURI you proposed in your first patch (which required
getNamespaceURI to return "null" in that case). In the new version of the
patch, the definition of OMElement#getNamespaceURI is compatible with DOM's
Node#getNamespaceURI and that allows ElementImpl to adhere to both DOM and
Axiom.
> Need OMElement.getNamespaceURI() convenience method

> It is extremely *in*convenient to constantly have to type
> element.getNamespace().getNamespaceURI() in order to simply get the String
> namespace from an OMElement. :) We should add a convenience method
> OMElement.getNamespaceURI().
