[Mono-list] ArgumentException in XmlTextWriter.WriteStartAttribute: Namespace URI must not be null when prefix is not an empty string

[Atsushi Eno]

It is very simple and reasonable because it was *the* expected behavior 
in XmlWriter. You can verify that by replacing "XmlWriter.Create() with 
"new XmlTextWriter()" and test it under .NET.

And XmlWriter implementations should not differentiate the behaviors at 
least with no reason.
It was .NET 2.0 that broke the rule.

A fix will land in svn anyways.
