[jdom-interest] Request for help using JDOM Beta 6 to create namespace declaratio n

You want

Namespace html = Namespace.getNamespace("HTML", "http://...");
Element e = new Element("mdc");
e.addNamespaceDeclaration(html);

By passing the html Namespace to the mdc element in its constructor you
were placing the elt in that namespace, which is not what you wanted. 
The addND() call adds a declaration without putting the elt in the
namespace.
