Description

According to https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#defaulting the namespace name for an unprefixed attribute name always has no value. Currently when using XmlSlurper unprefixed attributes have the default namespace.

def xml = '''
<root xmlns="urn:test">
    <foo id="7">bar</foo>
</root>
'''

def root = new XmlSlurper(false, true).parseText(xml).declareNamespace(ns: 'urn:test')

assert root.foo[0].namespaceURI() == 'urn:test'
assert root.'ns:foo'.text() == 'bar'

assert root.foo.@id == '7'
assert root.foo.'@ns:id' == '' // fails returns 7
assert root.foo.@id[0].namespaceURI() == '' // fails returns 'urn:test'

Based on the specs I believe the following asserts in the XmlSlurperTest are incorrect.
