[Mono-list] xml bug?

[Atsushi Eno]

Hello,

Well, I think it is good way to make difference. However even if we
distinguish String.Empty from null at creation, get_NamespaceURI()
should return String.Empty. So there will be no way for users to get 
which (null or String.Empty) alternative was chosen.

Atually these two calls result in the same (under MS.NET 1.1):

	 XmlElement b2 = d.CreateElement ("b2");
	 XmlElement b2 = d.CreateElement ("b2", "");

(However, these difference are made under XmlTextWriter. So
WriteStartElement("","b2","") actually outputs xmlns="", while 
WriteStartElement ("b2") does not.)

Thanks,
Atsushi Eno
