Re: gettting classcast exception when using XDataForm

 From my own testing, there were two ways I could reproduce what you're 
seeing.  The first was by not declaring the namespace of the element 
anywhere, and the second was by declaring a namespace mapping on the 
StreamContext, then using that prefix mapping in the imported DOM.

The second case is clearly a bug in JSO, and will be addressed*.  The 
first case would be a bug in your code, since JSO relies on the 
namespace-uri and local-name to determine what type of element to create.

For now, I recommend that you ensure the namespace for the imported 
elements are declared:

<x xmlns='jabber:x:data'>...</x>

If that still doesn't work, I'll need to see the dataset causing the 
problem, and probably more of your source.

*  I cannot say exactly when, because the fix requires changes to a 
number of interfaces and classes.  It shouldn't break any code using 
JSO, but will very likely break any custom elements that have been defined.
