Permit me to disagree that's the "only" sane approach.
Counter-example: SAX pipeline components can monitor namespace
usage and declarations, patching in new prefix declarations as needed.
I happen to prefer that approach; it's generally useful, since DOM isn't
the only framework that's "low fidelity" with respect to such information.
Components like that (not necessarily, or IMO desirably an XMLFilter)
are good to re-use...
