NodeFactory methods createAttribute and createElement say "not null" for prefix parameter, but this isn't enforced by bridges #66

Discussion about this issue arose from this thread:

https://groups.google.com/group/genxdm/browse_thread/thread/2077af30d2762369

Boiling down the discussion as of this filing, options are:

a) Do nothing, and let bridges fail however they wish.

b) Require bridges to do a "non-null" check.

c) Treat null as equivalent to ""

d) Treat null as equivalent to "assign it for me."

Make consistent prior to 1.0 release.

Based on the discussion, to which I add this: I do not think "c" is 
"acceptable", the only remaining "acceptable" option is b, which is the way the 
contract is written anyway. So we'll do the "easy" thing and make bridges meet 
the contract as specified.
