This would probably get my vote ... my (unsubstantiated) hunch is that 
it would break the least existing code of all the options.

Is the intention that,

  attrs.getLocalName(0) == null

or that,

  attrs.getLocalName(0).length() == 0

Returning null could break a lot of perfectly reasonable code. The empty 
string (or maybe even a non-empty but non-NCName string like "*") would 
be a better choice.

Cheers,
