Sicking says that setting an attribute named "xmlns" in the null namespace is an error and should throw.
When fixing this we should add an assertion in the nodeinfomanager that makes sure we never create nodeinfos with localname or prefix 'xmlns' without having the right namespace. Or with the xmlns-namespace without having a proper localname or prefix. Same thing applies to the prefix 'xml' and the xml-namespace.

FYI: since nobody implemented this I'm removing this restriction from DOM. See also https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16493 I recommend WONTFIX.
