Yeah, the javadoc is a real head scratcher.

For the case of:
Header.writeTo(XMLStreamWriter w)
how can the Header tell the XMLStreamWriter what the in-scope namespaces
are?
The implementation of XMLStreamWriter could be one that canonicallly
serializes a fragment. In this respect writing is only performed for the
fragment.
I think the semantics could be that the setting of the namespace context
can ignored by an XMLStreamWriterEx if it wants to.
Ah!!... hold on. The alternative is to use the XMLStreamReaderEx to get
the in-scope namespaces. Then the canonical XMLStreamWriterEx can be
instantiated with the NamespaceContextEx.
(Also i wonder if it would be more efficient to write a canonical
serializer that uses XMLStreamReaderEx instead.... but that is another
issue)
Better? If you think so i will remove the set method.

Yes, i will commit a netbeans project. It would be even easier if there
was a Maven to Ant convertor :-)

Ah, OK i will try Maven 1.
