I don't believe the namespace URI contains &. I suspect it contains 
& which is escaped as & in XML contexts. The distinction is 
critical. However it does sound like you may have uncovered a serious 
bug in JDOM if indeed JDOM does not escape such ampersands when 
reserializing. Do you have a reproducible test case?
