Jukka Zitting resolved JCR-241.

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I think the consensus is that the default namespace can not be remapped. Resolving as Won't Fix.

> I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature or standard behaviour, but currently it is not possible to remap the default namespace to some other prefix. The following code throws a NamespaceException:
>     session.setNamespacePrefix("foo", "");
> At least the Session.setNamespacePrefix() javadoc doesn't seem to prohibit changing the prefix of the default namespace and I couldn't find anything more specific in the JCR specification document. Restrictions are only placed on remapping the xml namespace.
> Note that the current nodetype code is actually relying on the default namespace being mapped to the empty prefix, so changing this would require small changes there as well.
> I haven't really run into any cases where I'd have needed such functionality, but it would be nice to clarify this issue.
