[jdom-interest] moving namespaces up

[Vladimir Grishchenko]

Hello,

Here is a dumb question but I need this functionality for my project.
I looked briefly at JDOM api and couldn't find a way to do the following:

Say, I have an XML doc stored as:

<root>
   <A:child1 xmlns:A="FOO:"/>
   <B:child2 xmlns:B="BAR:"/>
</root>

I read it in via SAXBuilder and I want it to be outputted as:

<root xmlns:A="FOO:" xmlns:B="BAR:">
  <A:child1/>
  <B:child2/>
<root/>

Basically I need all namespace declarations to be moved up, possibly
changing prefix names if there's any prefix name collisions. 

What else I can do aside from subclassing Element or Document and writing my

own method to do that?

This question comes from the need to integrate the product I'm working on
with some other tool which is not able to recognize that child1 actually is 
in namespace FOO: and child2 is in namespace BAR: unless namespaces are
defined
somewhere up in the tree.

Thanks and regards,
--V.
