[jdom-interest] Re: Radical Suggestion

[Dennis Sosnoski]

That's great to find out about - I was thinking of suggesting null as a 
wildcard for namespace, but didn't realize it was already being done. 
The behavior should definitely be documented in the javadocs, though - 
otherwise some people may consider it a bug and "fix" it. :-)

The same convention could potentially be used for creating "chameleon" 
elements that would take on the default namespace for wherever they were 
inserted into a document tree.
