That's fine. You can't please all the people all the time, and trying 
to will just produce an API that pleases none of the people any of 
the time. Better to please some of the people all of the time. One 
API doesn't fit all, though I suspect in the case of JAXB, they will 
sooner or later discover the fundamental flaws in that API's design 
(which have nothing to do with namespaces, by the way.)
