It seems that the only way to add a DEFAULT namespace to a node (without

// xmlns="default/ns/no/prefix"

/*
Note that namespace declarations inserted using set_namespace are not classed as
attributes, so they do not show up in an attribute list. Since we set our
default namespace using the set_attribute() method, it is the only one that will
show up.

/*
Any XML processor still regards it as a namespace declaration the same way
they recognise the other namespaces we declared. Problem for us is that we
cannot ascertain the existing namespace declarations on any element if they are
not declared using set_attribute. Furthermore, external files imported into
DOMXML objects do NOT have their namespace declarations detected as attributes -
and rightly so. But the problem arises that now there is no way to detect these
declarations.
*/
var_dump($ndRoot->attributes());
// Our new "xmlns:pfx" *attribute* now shows up because we set it with an
// attribute method and it is of type "domattribute". So what of our namespace
// declarations using set_namespace() then? Do they have a type?
/*
Well there doesn't seem to be any other dom type where our declarations can
reside. This is problably the reason why we have no way of detecting them.
It's important to note that when parsing in external XML files, the prefixed
namespace declarations do NOT show up in the list of attribute nodes.
*/
/*
I would also argue that destroying the existing element prefix by forcing the
[re]population of it with a new one when using set_namespace() should be
considdered "unexpected behaviour". If the user doesn not supply a prefix, then
it should be added as the default namespace (with no prefix).
Using set_attribute() is a workaround to the "problem" and not a solution.
*/
/*
The behaviour of set_namespace() is not the biggest problem though.
Inability to detect existing namespace declarations is. How do I find out if
a namespace with id of "yet/another/namespace" has been declared in this
element? The answer is I can't. And if I could, I would also want to know what
prefix it is using.

DomNode->add_namespace
(no version information, might be only in CVS)
DomNode->add_namespace -- Adds a namespace declaration to a node说明
class DOMNode {bool add_namespace ( string uri, string prefix )
}
This method adds a namespace declaration to a node.
注: This method is not part of the DOM specification.
Migrating to PHP 5
You can set the namespace URI and prefix of a DOMElement or a DOMAttr at creation time by using DOMDocument->createElementNS() or DOMDocument->createAttributeNS().
注: Remember the an attribute does not inherit its namespace from the element it is attached to.
