Description

The method Element.forceAttributes uses the "namespace" attribute of the element when calling Element.updateAttribute. Attributes are by default in the global namespace, which is an empty string, not in the namespace of the element. There is no way to specify an alternate namespace to search.

It seems the more accurate behavior for this method would be to pass the empty string as the namespace. The class would need to specify a separate method to that accepts a namespace.
