As long as it is agreed that this is the Right Thing To Do.  Implementing the 
features as in the SAX "spec" would require that:

1) If namespace-prefixes is false, then setting namespaces to false is an 
error; and vice versa.
2) Default is n=T,n-p=F.  So the naive namespace disablement action 
(namespaces=false) will result in an error.

The next two questions:

1) Should the exception be thrown only on parse (to avoid the problem in 2 
above)?
2) Is SAXNotSupportedException the right exception to throw?
