NIST The "hasAttributeNS()" method for an Element should return true if the element has an attribute with the given local name and the namespace URI is specified on this element or has a default value. Retrieve the first "address" element and the "hasAttributeNS()" method should return true since the element has "domestic" as the local name and "http://www.usa.com" as the namespace URI.
