First of all, I don't like DOM APIs. Anyway, I will be using it to
register a type mapping. A type mapping in Apache Axis is one that maps
a schema (or primitive type) to a serializer component.
Therefore, I need the ability to read the namespace data for that purpose.
In the future, WSDD will be introduced, requiring the schema to be in
a specific namespace, and embedding portions of a WSDL document inside
of it. Each of these will require determining the namespaces involved.
