362484 - getAttributeNS not working with xml:id

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[bz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy)

el.getAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/xml/1998/namespace','id');
does not work as expected.
getAttributeNS works with all namespace but not the xml: namespace.
If the xml: namespace gets a different namespace it works - but is not nice to
have an xml:id written like xxx:id.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See example

Actual Results:  
no result

Expected Results:  
the value of the xml:id attribute

Not a duplicate.

This is invalid, for two reasons:

1)  The testcase is using the wrong namespace.  The right one is
    "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
2)  It should be alerting value, not el.value.

Fixing those bugs in the testcase makes it work.
