I didn't mention the parsing behaviour, but the document creation
behaviour (and only argued with the above statement). My preferred
solution would perhaps be to add the xmlns attribute (is this the only
one?) initially to the attributes of the document root node, if a
namespace parameter was given. Then the logical state of a newly
created DOMDocument would match the logigal state of a parsed
DOMDocument, for consistency reason.
