+/**
+This class represents an existing namespace declaration in the DOM tree or a
+namespace node returned in RXmlEngNodeSet as a result of some XPath expression. 
+ 
+All elements and attributes may have a namespace instance associated with them.
+Once added to an element, a namespace declaration (instance of
+TXmlEngNamespace) may be referred to by all attributes and descendants of the
+element (unless the prefix that this namespace-to-prefix binding uses is
+overriden somewhere below in the document tree).
+ 
+General rules for namespace handling:
+ 
+- A NULL prefix in the namespace node means NO PREFIX. An empty string "" can
+be used to specify the absence of a prefix when setting it, however, NULL will
+be stored and returned.
+
+- A NULL value for a namespace URI is legal only with a NULL prefix and is only
+used in the undeclaration of a namespace (@c xmlns="" ).  An empty string ""
+can be used too, however, it will be returned as NULL.
+ 
+- A NULL or empty string namespace URI with a non-NULL prefix is illegal
+acording to the XML specification.
+
+- The namespace of an element is a default namespace if it has a NULL prefix.
+ 
+- Elements with namespace undeclarations (@c xmlns="" ), have no namespace and
+are treated as local names.
+ 
+- Attributes do not have a default namespace. Even if a namespace is applied at
+element scope, the default namespace declaration is not applied to the
+element's attributes (according to the XML specification).
+ 
+- The namespace of a node (element or attribute) is undefined if no namespace
+declaration is associated with it.
+ 
+- A node with an undefined namespace is serialized as having no prefix. In
+general, the DOM API handles the complexity of namespace declaration handling,
+creating neccessary namespace declarations and undeclaring default namespaces.
+However, some node-creation methods (e.g. TXmlEngElement::AddNewElementL()) do
+not ensure that a node created with an undefined namespace (i.e. without a
+prefix) will be treated after serialization as having the default namespace.
+ 
+Note:
+Namespace nodes that are the result of XPath expressions have following restrictions:
+
+- They cannot be used as namespace definitions, because they are not part of
+the DOM tree, but rather copies of existing namespace definitions.
+
+- The namespace prefix is not available because it is not mandated by the DOM
+Level 3 XPath API.  So, in returned copies of the DOM tree, namespace prefix
+strings are not preserved and Prefix() returns NULL.
