Suggestions for how to efficiently add scoped namespace support to JDOM are being discussed on jdom-interest.

If handling scoped namespaces is extremely onerous and slow, then they may not be included, at least by default. It wouldn't be unprecedented; I'm strongly suspect the Apache server has a few places where they violate the HTTP spec for the sake of speed. I *know* Tomcat does. > It will be interesting to see how the JDOM API evolves over time! It's been a fun first day. :-) -jh-
