Description:

This class includes some functionality to support XML namespaces. XML namespaces provide a simple method for qualifying element and attribute names used in XML documents  It stands as a proxy for an element when the element cannot yet be created, or when the element will never be created, but where information about the element must be recorded while processing its content.

Instance Variables:
	tag     <XML.NodeTag>
	namespaces      <Dictionary>

Instance protocol:

 namespaces

 namespaces: something

 tag

 tag: aTag

 defineDefaultNamespace: attribute

 defineNamespace: attribute

 findNamespace: ns

 printOn: aStream

(comment from inherited method)
append a user printed representation of the receiver to aStream.
The format is suitable for a human - not meant to be read back.

The default here is to output the receiver's class name.
BUT: this method is heavily redefined for objects which
can print prettier.
