two alternatives for namespaces

[Don Park]

How about an alternative solution?

Define NamespaceSupport interface which is defined something like this:

public interface NamespaceSupport {
    String getBaseName (String fullName);
    String getURIName (String fullName);
    ...
    Object getNamespace (String fullName);
    String getNamespaceURI (Object nameSpace);
    ...
    boolean equals (String fullName, Object targetNS, String targetName);
    ...
}

An implementation of NamespaceSupport is retrieved via a method in the
Parser interface:

public interface Parser {
    NamespaceSupport getNamespaceSupport();
}

With some polish, it could be very nice, enviro-mentally speaking.
