The addNamespace() method allows you to add a namespace declaration to
the element but does not add the element to the namespace. You can now
howerever use this namespace for any child elements.

Yes, that would be possible if 'w' has already been mapped.
However currently the method clearly expects a name and not a
qualified name and to change this method to use a qualified name would
create dependencies that are unnecessary and I think philosophically
wrong.
