I don't think should be a "feature" of dom4j because it's really irritating to generate common XML formats like WEB-INF/web.xml and see a bunch of xmlns="" attributes throughout the web.xml instead of seeing the typical web.xml. It would be a nice "feature" if dom4j had the smarts to not print the attribute if a namespace is not used.
