Description

If DOMImplementation.createDocument() is called with a null namespaceURI and qualifiedName it's supposed to return an empty Document (i.e. one with no document element). This doesn't work with a few of the DOM implementations, specifically CoreDOMImplementationImpl and PSVIDOMImplementationImpl:
