Description Sjoerd Mulder 2007-11-12 01:49:35 PST 
According to the specifications: http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#ID-NodeNSLocalN

Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.
For nodes of any type other than ELEMENT_NODE and ATTRIBUTE_NODE and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as Document.createElement(), this is always null.

But webkit returns:

'#text' for CDATA_SECTION_NODE (huh?)
'#text' for TEXT_NODE
'#comment' for COMMENT_NODE
'' for DOCUMENT_NODE

didnt test this for other 'exotic' node types (PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE etc..)

The test case in the latest Webkit r30667 works properly. In all 4 tested case returned value is "null'. I change the bug report from UNCONFIRMED to WORKSFORME.

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