[jdom-interest] NamesSpace questions

[Michael Brennan]

Actually, it should parse since XML 1.0 allows ':' in names. However, a
compliant parser won't treat "rdf:" or "dc:" as namespace prefixes since
there are not corresponding namespace declarations; these will simply be
treated as part of the tag names.
