Description

Element.attribute(String name, String value) passes null to Element.attribute(String namespace, String name, String value). The attribute stores the empty string for elements in the global namespace so there is never a match, and thus the new attribute is appended to the chain.

Perhaps there should be a Document.GLOBAL_NAMESPACE_URI constant?
