[MOBY-l] XML namespaces

[Ken Steube]

How should I write my objects:  GenericSequence or moby:GenericSequence?
The current batch of services are producing both and so I have to write my
services to check for both, which is a serious complication.

The only reason we should ever need an XML namespace like 'moby:' is if
someone's using a non-standard ontology.

We don't need 'moby:' and we should toss it from the XML generated by
execute() and from the XML output of all the services before this gets out
of hand.

Maybe switching to a better XML parser might make all this easier, but
it's not necessary to have the namespaces when an object comes from the
one-and-only default ontology and they should go.
