User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040823 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040823 Firefox/0.9.3

Mozilla (Firefox 0.9.3) wrongly parses (with DOMParser) the below XML file. It
loses the prefix "xml" in "xml:lang" so that "xml:lang" becomes just "lang"
(node.attributes[i].prefix == null).

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"/>

The bug is specific for xmlns being namely http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Evalate:

new DOMParser().parseFromString('<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en"/>', "text/xml").documentElement.attributes[1].name
Actual Results:  
Value "lang"

Expected Results:  
Value "xml:lang"
