[jdom-interest] org.jdom.Namespace not implementing Serializable

[Jason Hunter]

In the end we decided Namespaces shouldn't be serializable, and rather
Element and Attribute handle that data serialization.  Look for
readObject/writeObject in those classes.

Of course, using serialization is not the way to make deep copies.  Try
clone().
