[jdom-interest] printAdditionalNamespaces() in XMLOutputter

[Keith M. Hughes]

Ah, yes. The essential tension in OO programming: supporting code reuse 
vs not committing to a particular implementation. I imagine it is 
particularly hard when designing a public library.

Well, I thought about it some more, tried a few things, and things can 
work as is for now. When I need the functionality, I will write my own 
outputter.

Thanks for a great tool. JDOM and Jaxen made my life much easier.
