Opera 8.x XML/DOM appendChild problem

Found a problem with Opera’s XML/DOM support. Seems that they don’t support appendChild() if the document is created with an “” (empty) QualifiedName.

document.implementation.createDocument("","",null);

This only seems to be a problem if you try to append to such a document. Opera 8.x (and prior?) requires you to create the document with a QualifiedName like:

document.implementation.createDocument("","foo",null);

This way appendChild will work as expected. Of course this works fine in Firefox and IE. It also apprears to be fixed in the upcoming 9.0 release of Opera.
