Thank you, Rob,
Unfortunately, that didn't work, either (though I'll keep it in mind).
The returned string is still empty.
I also unsuccessfully fetched the 'xmlns' attribute using
getAttribute(). Interestingly, although hasAttributes(void) returns
true, hasAttribute('xmlns'), and hasAttribute(' xml:lang') both return
false.
