Description:
------------
When using DomNode->getAttribute('attribute') the attribute is selected by the order in the xml, even if the attributes are prefixed with a namespace.

So in the case of having several attributes with the same name, but one without namespace, and one/several with a namespace, getAttribute does not return the attribute without a namespace as expected, instead it selects the attributes by order, and returns the first one.

The solution so this is using DomNode->getAttributeNS(null,'attribute') , but this being a complete hack.

This seems as a unnessary bug, and compared to other DOM implements like python, it seems more normal to return the attribute without a namespace when using getAttribute, rather than the first one.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$xml = '<node xmlns:pre="http://foo.com/tr/pre" pre:type="bar" type="foo" ><sub /></node>';
$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);
echo $dom->firstChild->getAttribute('type');

?>

Expected result:
----------------
the output should be "foo"

Actual result:
--------------
the output is "bar"
