folks, I'm going to need developer assistance on verifying this bug. Vidur (or
whoever fixes this) please note when you checked in the fix and please note how
you self-tested the fix, we will mark as verified per your self test.

I'll change the name of one of the methods, but I'm not sure why this is a
problem. Since the methods have different signatures, it seems to me that there
shouldn't be a problem - C++ allows method overloading. Again, this kind of
overloading isn't very COM-friendly, so I'm happy to change it and close &
verify the bug when I do. Kathy, any idea why this is a problem for the MW
compiler?

Vidur - that would be great if you could mark it as such when you are complete.

Made the change on 3/19. The name of the nsIContent method is now
GetNameSpacePrefixFromId.
