Similar functionality was previously requested and rejected for the

That's a shame, they should be defined for a DOM that supports XML
features, especially the xml namespace.
Although the xml and xmlns prefixes are predefined for use in XML,
neither the Selectors spec, nor the CSS Namespace Module predefine them
for use with Selectors in CSS. There is no reason why this should be
any different for Selectors used in this API. If you still disagree,
then I suggest you take up the issue with the CSS WG, as it would be
more appropriate to address the issue in either Selectors or the CSS
Namespace Module, if at all.
