effect of namespace on collection function; weird

[Michael Rys]

I remember having this raised as a usability issue but we decided at the time that we do not want to keep track of two default element namespaces :(.

Best regards
Michael

But it still changes the default both for constructing new elements and for accessing existing ones. What the user wants here is different defaults for the two cases.
