Martin Honnen,

The method inScopeNamespaces takes no arguments and returns an array of
Namespace objects representing the namespace that are in scope for this
XML object.
The method addNamespace takes one argument which can be a string with a
namespace URI or a Namespace object and adds the argument to the in
scope namespaces of this XML object. The method returns the XML object
it is called on.
The method removeNamespace takes one argument which can be a string with
a namespace URI or a Namespace object and removes the namespace from the
in scope namespaces of this XML object if the namespace is not used for
the qualified name of the object or its attributes.
Here is an example using the three methods:
  var xhtml = <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" />;
  alert(xhtml.inScopeNamespaces());
  // shows 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'
  xhtml.addNamespace(new Namespace('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink'));
  alert(xhtml.inScopeNamespaces());
  // shows 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml,http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink'
  xhtml.removeNamespace(new Namespace('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink'));
  alert(xhtml.inScopeNamespaces());
  // shows 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'
