namespace attributes in XML literals are reversed

[lrytz]

This one was always OK:

scala> <t a="1" b="2"/>
val res0: scala.xml.Elem = <t a="1" b="2"/>

This one was fixed in scala-xml 2.x (scala/scala-xml#172), the attributes are reversed when using 1.x:

scala> scala.xml.XML.loadString("""<t a="1" b="2"/>""")
val res1: scala.xml.Elem = <t a="1" b="2"/>

The fix also applies here:

scala> scala.xml.XML.loadString("""<t xmlns="xmlns-url" xmlns:xsd="xmlns-xsd-url"/>""")
val res0: scala.xml.Elem = <t xmlns="xmlns-url" xmlns:xsd="xmlns-xsd-url"/>

But for literals, namespace attributes are handled by the compiler and they are (and always were) reversed:

scala> <t xmlns="xmlns-url" xmlns:xsd="xmlns-xsd-url"/>
