Sounds cool with me. Since this is an API change, can we do a release
shortly after this change is done, then I can change the dependent projects
(dom4j and XTags) to be inline with the new API.

Subject: [Jaxen] Variable and Function context: namespace handling change?
> Hi,

> At the moment, VariableContext and FunctionContext look up variables and
