XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Michael Fitzgerald" <mike AT wyeast.net>]

I'd expect that

Element name = new Element("name");
System.out.println(name.toXML());

would kick out

<name></name>

and that

Element name = new Element("name", "");
System.out.println(name.toXML());

would kick out

<name xmlns=""></name>

but the opposite is true in xom-1.0d4. That is:

Element name = new Element("name", "");

gets you

<name></name>

and

Element name = new Element("name");

gets you

<name xmlns=""></name>

What do people think? Am I missing something?
