[jdom-interest] Unrequested blank Attrib. Namespace for only the top Element

[Rolf Lear]

Me thinks that you mis-understand Namespaces.

All your qsi Elements are in the "" Namespace, only it doesn;t say so on any
but the top element.

Thus, in the example:

<a xmlns="hello">
  <b />
  <b />
  <b />
  <b />
  <b />
</a>

Every element (the a and all the b's are in the "hello" namespace.

If you get around to reading the XML Spec, you will find that if you give a
Default Namespace for an element (one without a prefix), then all the child
elements will be part of that namespace unless explicitly given a different
namespace.

Pay really close attention to the Spec at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#scoping-defaulting

here can help.

Does this happen with beta 8, 9, or the current cvs?
