So you make sure that foo:localname and bar:localname will get
assigned the same ID (in the non-NS part of the ID field)?

Is it correct to say that the tagnames without namespace (like those passed
to getElementsByTagName()) are equivalent to tags with an empty prefix?
And/or to tags with an empty namespaceURI? Does that also mean they
have 0 in the NS part of the ID field (the upper 16 bits)?

OK, so the next step is to make 3.1-branch pass the regression test (thanks
for that test, Peter). Hopefully my getElementsByTagNameNS() fix is a step in 
that direction :)
