This is a proposal to update the API for a better support of namespaces
in geotools/geoserver.
The goal is to allow PropertyName objects to hold an x-path (with
namespace prefixes), and an associated Namespace Context ( i.e.
Prefix->Namespace mappings). Changing the interfaces of PropertyName and
FilterFactory makes it possible to get and set these namespace context
information from anywhere in geotools without accessing specific
implementations.
Additionally, Query will support using a list of PropertyName objects
for Property Selection, rather than just strings, again with the aim of
supplying the appropiate NamespaceContext information. However, backward
compatibility is guaranteed by making the old getters and setters
shortcuts to the new ones.
