You can get this with JDOM, but you can't get it with XPath. To quote from section 5.3 of the XPath 1.0 specification:

There are no attribute nodes corresponding to attributes that declare namespaces 

Again, JDOM's model is quite close to XPath's model; not as close as I like, but namespaces just aren't one of the areas where they're significantly different.
