[jdom-interest] XmlOutputter - printNamespace - NO_NAMESPACE outputs xmlns="", bug?

[Phill_Perryman at Mitel.COM]

Count one vote against, I use JDOM as a persistence mechanism for my Java 
Applications and there is not a single namespace in any one of the 
documents and I don't want to have to add one when I don't need any 
namespace related functionality.
