What node are you adding it to? is that in the namespace you want to 
use already? How about the root element? Most of the time it 
shouldn't be too hard to find an element that's in the namespace you 
want to use.

The code to do this walking has to go somewhere, either in XOM or in 
your program. Since this is a very unusual thing to ask, I'd much 
rather the code went in your application than in XOM itself. The 
information will all be there, so you can get to it if you really 
need it. It's just going to take a little more effort to extract it.
