> We need to define the requirements on completeness and freshness of 
> RepositoryService.getRegisteredNamespaces().
> Right now the optimistic assumption seems to be that an SPI provider is able 
> to report all namespaces that can occur in a repository beforehand. Even if 
> it can do that (and I know of potential targets for SPI that simply can't), 
> this seems to be quite a waste of time if these namespace prefixes aren't 
> actually used later on.
> Furthermore, in SPI namespace prefixes aren't really relevant, except to 
> enable the transient layer to return "meaningful" prefixes instead of 
> automatically generated ones.
> Therefore my propoal would be to:
> 1) Clarify that the Map returned from getRegisteredNamespaces() isn't 
> required to be complete,
> 2) Enhance JCR2SPI to auto-generate prefixes when it encounters namespaces 
> not in the registry.
> I expect this to also affect RepositoryService.(un)registerNamespace(...), 
> but let's discuss the underlying issue first...
