Hello,
I have a migration problem. I generated a lot off documents in the old namespace "blbla1.0". There is a new namespace "blbla2.0" available
which just has changes in elements NOT used in my documents. No I need to change the namespace of theses documents in a tool already based on XOM.

I don't have a full picture of what you're doing, but XSLT is likely the simplest solution: just an ID transform except for a namespace change. You'll likley need the xsl:element element. Or you could just recursively descend through the document with XOM and change each element. Or use a NodeFilter that does that when parsing.
