JavaScript: 
  var main = document.getElementById('logo');
  var elem = main.getElementsByTagName('svg:a')[0];
  var output1 = elem.getAttributeNodeNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink', 'type').value;
  var output2 = elem.getAttributeNode('xlink:type').value;
Output:
desired your browser
output1: simple
output2: simple


Remarks:
  • remember that all namespace examples are here only to provide starting point for discussion and other work because specification is not very clear sometimes and there is probably no way to test examples right now
  • it seems that all relevant browsers support JavaScript try-catch statement therefore all examples are encapsulated with it (it avoids alert-popups)
  • thanks to White Space Handling in XML 1.0 specification default handling of white-spaces completely depends on XML application (note: WinIE do not preserve white-spaces by default while MacIE and Mozilla does)
  • during development tested with Mozilla night-builds, Netscape6, MicrosoftInternetExplorer5.5 and Opera5.02 on Windows2000
