createDocument fails with DOM Exception 5 when passed empty qname

I'm not sure if this is correct or not.  FireFox does not fail here, but the spec seems to imply that we 
should.

Fix

The attached patch fixes this bug. Note that it makes two of the W3C tests
fail, but these fail in at least Firefox and Opera (I suspect WinIE too).

See my bug report #5735 (I guess you may want to close this now) ---  note 
that by DOM Level 3, you're supposed to not create the document node -ONLY- 
when all of documentType, NameSpaceURI and qualifiedName are null

Mass moving XML DOM bugs to the "DOM" Component.
