Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question, but i’m trying to use Tagsoup with jdom and it seems like jdom sets an internal feature for namespace-prefixes which won’t turn off even if it try to setFeature(…,false)..just wondering if tagsoup will support this feature soon or do i need to bug jdom about it :) Thanks! -Eric
