[jdom-interest] Namespace prefixes

What are the current plans for the Namespace class? In particular, is it
going to be revised at some point so that prefixes are maintained as
well as URIs? I know I was initially strongly in the camp that this
wasn't necessary, but I'm afraid Simon convinced me otherwise. Namespace
prefixes in attribute values are just too common. :-(

I don't need this functionality immediately, and if it is a goal to
maintain prefixes then I have a few ideas about how to fix the Namespace
class to do that; but I do need to know what to tell my audience at
XMLDevCon next week.
