410740 - E4X: issue when two namespace with same prefix

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Biju]

myxml=
  <a xmlns:a="uri.1">
    <b xmlns:a="uri.2">
      <c><d/></c>
    </b>
  </a>;

now myxml.b, myxml.b.c  gives ==> 

  <b xmlns:a="uri.2" xmlns:a="uri.1">
    <c>
      <d/>
    </c>
  </b>

and

  <c xmlns:a="uri.2" xmlns:a="uri.1">
    <d/>
  </c>

I expected ==> 

  <b xmlns:a="uri.2">
    <c>
      <d/>
    </c>
  </b>

and

  <c xmlns:a="uri.2">
    <d/>
  </c>


PS:
1. I have a JS fix for this, so code fix is not urgent.

Comment 1

[Biju]

is this related to Bug 292863
or is this same prefix for different namespace valid in xml?

E4X will be removed again from Spidermonkey (bug 788293)
