[jdom-interest] cannot create xmlns namespace?

Thanks.  That kind of worked...
But now I have xmlns declarations on all my child elements.  I know I can 
add the namespace manually on all my children content, but that would 
create like <html:head></html:head> instead of <head></head>

Is there anyway to add a namespace to a element so that doesn't 
happen?  What I want is this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test</title>

Here is what is happening now:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head xmlns="" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <title xmlns="" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Test</title>
    </head>

Thanks.  I appreciate it.
