No.  I need to be able to build a tree that includes the all the
namespace scoping information.  Something like:

interface NamespaceDeclHandler {
  void startNamespaceDecl(String prefix, String namespace);
  void endNamespaceDecl();
}

with calls to start/endNamespaceDecl outside the calls to the
corresponding start/endElement would do it.
