<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm serializing some data to TMX (an XML based format), which requires</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>an attribute in the xml NS, eg. xml:lang="de". I've tried the following:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Element e = new Element("elem");</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>e.setAttribute("lang", "de",</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> Namespace.getNamespace("xml","<A HREF="http://www.xml.org/" TARGET="_blank">http://www.xml.org/</A>"))</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But the JDOM complains:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>[sauron]~>java test</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Exception in thread "main" org.jdom.IllegalNameException: The name "xml" </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is not legal</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>for JDOM/XML Namespace prefixs: Namespace prefixes cannot begin with </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>"xml" in any comb</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>ination of case.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> at org.jdom.Namespace.getNamespace(Namespace.java:154)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> at test.main(test.java:12)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>What to do..?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT>
