I think that the real issue is that the "namespaces" property that
enables Xerces to handle Namespaces is hardwired to false in SAXBuilder
thus preventing correct handling of Schemas in JDOM. The question is
(from my point of view at least): why is it hardwired to false ? Why
isn't there any possibility to programmatically set this in JDOM ? What
are the consequences on the whole API to set this to true ?
