XPath namespace prefixes

I had a look through the archives and couldn't see any discussion on this,  
so apologies if I missed it.  At some point since 0.1.0 the XPath  
setDefaultNamespaces(Map<String,String> namespaces) method was removed,  
and I don't see any way of constructing an XPath instance with an  
additional namespace prefix (except by subclassing FOMXPath).  Is there  
some way of adding a namespace prefix that I have missed, or a rationale  
for not being able to do so?

This should work

  Map<String,String> ns = xpath.getDefaultNamespaces();
  ns.put("f","urn:foo");
  String s = xpath.valueOf("...", element, ns);
