> There are certain cases in which a user would like to write arbitrary
> attributes as part of the XML output for a field tag. Case in point: I'd like
> to declare tags in the SOLR output that are e.g., georss namespace, like
> georss:point. Other users may want to declare myns:mytag tags, which should
> be perfectly legal as SOLR goes. This isn't currently possible with the
> XMLWriter implementation, which curiously only allows the attribute "name" to
> be included in the XML tags.
> Coincidentally, users of XMLWriter aren't allowed to modify the <response
> outer XML tag to include those arbitrary namespaces (which was my original
> thought as a workaround for this). This wouldn't matter anyways, because by
> the time the user got to the FieldType#writeXML method, the header for the
> XML would have been written anyways.
> I've developed a workaround, and in doing so, allowed something that should
> have probably been allowed in the first place: allow a user to write
> arbitrary attributes (including xmlns:myns="myuri") as part of the
> XMLWriter#startTag function. I've kept the existing #startTag, but replaced
> its innards with versions of startTag that include startTagWithNamespaces,
> and startTagNoAttrs.
