Chap, Sudhir,
After some profound discussions on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list,
I decided to roll back this new feature. I need to better understand the
use case before I introduce this new API.
Is the functionality you are referring to intended for use with Java
objects? What is the meaning of a namespace URI in the context of Java
objects? Please, give me as much information about this use case as
possible.
