In particular the problem of defining the "right" behavior when a namespace-aware nodes are added, deleted, and moved is harder than it looks on the surface. SAX2 and XPath have more elegant models for namespaces in part because these are read-only. I haven't looked closely enough at JDOM or dom4j to see if they have any brigher ideas on how to handle this than DOM does. At some point this all needs to get refactored, but that is going to be disruptive.
