It looks as though the Xerces 2 SAX parser is reporting the namespaceURI for xmlns:<blah> as null. I don't know if this is legal or not... One would think it should be reported as an empty string, but I'll follow up with the Xerces team. In either case, I'm working on a clean workaround for it, which should be available within a half hour or so.
Ok, I've checked in a workaround for this namespace problem. There is a bug on file for Xerces 2 that describes this behavior, so hopefully when they get around to fixing it, I can back this code change out. Basically, I have to check every reported attribute for an xmlns prefix and then forcefully set the attribute in the DOM using a qualified name instead of a local name.
It'll slow things down a tad, but it'll work.
