Description

As a result methods that rely on the mapping (e.g. XmlSlurper#lookupNamespace(String)) do not work correctly:

def xml = new XmlSlurper(false, true).parseText('''<root xmlns:tns="urn:first">
  <tns:a tns:attr="value"/>
  <tns:b xmlns:tns="urn:second" attr="value"/>
  <tns:c attr="value"/>
</root>''');

xml.declareNamespace(ns1:'urn:first', ns2:'urn:second')

assert xml.'ns1:a'[0].namespaceURI() == "urn:first"  // OK
assert xml.'ns2:b'[0].namespaceURI() == "urn:second" // OK
assert xml.'ns1:c'[0].namespaceURI() == "urn:first"  // OK

assert xml.'ns1:a'[0].lookupNamespace("tns") == "urn:first"   // ERROR
assert xml.'ns2:b'[0].lookupNamespace("tns") == "urn:second"  // OK
assert xml.'ns1:c'[0].lookupNamespace("tns") == "urn:first"   // ERROR
