OK, if I understand you correctly your documents do not use
namespaces. That's fine. There's no rule that says you have to, and
lots of good XML applications like TEI and XML-RPC don't use them.
JDOM fully supports your style of documents today.
However, this is very different from needing to match local names in
any namespace. I suspect that if your program encountered a document
in which an element with the same name had a non-null namespace URI,
that should signal an error. You need to match elements in no
namespace, not elements in any namespace.
