The below script prints

http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/
aa:aa

It should print

None
aa:aa

because xmlns:z is NOT an attribute of xmlns namespace.

~~~
import xml.dom.minidom

x = xml.dom.minidom.parseString("<x xmlns:z='aa:aa' z:q='1'/>")

for i in x.documentElement.attributes.values():
    print(i.namespaceURI)
~~~

My bug report was wrong:

https://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407/core.html
In the DOM, all namespace declaration attributes are by definition bound to the namespace URI: "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/". These are the attributes whose namespace prefix or qualified name is "xmlns" as introduced in [XML Namespaces 1.1].
