Imagine the following: <f:bar xmlns:f="foo" xmlns:b="baz" b:y="z"> </f:bar> resulting in: startNamespace("foo") startNamespace("baz") startElement("bar", atts) which namespace is "bar" in? Where is the "efficiency" in the second without the explicit namespace events? Imagine the following: <f:bar xmlns:f="foo" xmlns:b="baz" b:y="z"> <f:moo b:x="z"> </f:moo> </f:bar> resulting in: startElement("foo", "bar", atts) <== must parse and remember the namespaces startElement("baz", "moo", atts) <== refer to above note that the parsing and storing of the namespaces is ADDED work as the parser must have already done so itself! Perhaps the two should be combined...
