/**
 * The <code>XPathNamespace interface is returned by
 * <code>XPathResult interfaces to represent the XPath namespace node
 * type that DOM lacks. There is no public constructor for this node type.
 * Attempts to place it into a hierarchy or a NamedNodeMap result in a
 * <code>DOMException with the code HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR
 * . This node is read only, so methods or setting of attributes that would
 * mutate the node result in a DOMException with the code
 * <code>NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR.
 * <p>The core specification describes attributes of the Node
 * interface that are different for different node node types but does not
 * describe <code>XPATH_NAMESPACE_NODE, so here is a description of
 * those attributes for this node type. All attributes of <code>Node
 * not described in this section have a <code>null or
 * <code>false value.
 * <p>ownerDocument matches the ownerDocument of the
 * <code>ownerElement even if the element is later adopted.
 * <p>prefix is the prefix of the namespace represented by the
 * node.
 * <p>nodeName is the same as prefix.
 * <p>nodeType is equal to XPATH_NAMESPACE_NODE.
 * <p>namespaceURI is the namespace URI of the namespace
 * represented by the node.
 * <p>adoptNode, cloneNode, and
 * <code>importNode fail on this node type by raising a
 * <code>DOMException with the code NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR.In
 * future versions of the XPath specification, the definition of a namespace
 * node may be changed incomatibly, in which case incompatible changes to
 * field values may be required to implement versions beyond XPath 1.0.
 * <p>See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 XPath Specification.
