This call is incorrect; the signature is createElementNS(namespaceURI,
qualifiedName). If you call .createElementNS('whatever', 'DAV:href'),
the output is the expected:
<?xml version="1.0" ?><DAV:href/>
It doesn't look like there's any code in minidom that will
automatically create an 'xmlns:DAV="whatever"' attribute for you. Is
this automatic creation an expected behaviour?
(I assume not. Section 1.3.3 of the DOM Level 3 says "Similarly,
creating a node with a namespace prefix and namespace URI, or changing
the namespace prefix of a node, does not result in any addition,
removal, or modification of any special attributes for declaring the
appropriate XML namespaces." So the DOM can create XML documents that
aren't well-formed w.r.t. namespaces, I think.)
