The DOM WG is working to define a new "normalization"
method that will fixup things so that a document that has had new elements
inserted in a namespace gets the appropriate declarations added. Details
still uncertain. If you're a W3C member, by all means look in the DOM
archives and offer practical advice. If you're not, please look closely at
the next public working draft. Since the Xerces people are well represented on
the DOM, it's a safe bet that the DOM will incorporate what they've learned from
their attempts at fixing up the declarations into the spec.
