If you'd rather like to expose the namespace map in a strongly typed manner, fine. For example via getNamespaceCount(), getNamespacePrefix(int), getNamespaceURI(int).

That's what I was wondering if you're doing. We could actually cut that down to two methods, at some cost in speed by replacing getNamespaceURI(int) with a getNamespacePrefix(int) followed by a lookup. Usually there's less than a dozen mappings (often only or two) so this might not matter a great deal. Or I could just return a String array of prefixes, and make it one method call.

None of these options are all that difficult. I'm much more concerned with getting the right API, than with saving a half hour of coding.
