Thanks Leon,

I ended up using XSLT and did it in 20 lines :)
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-77

It doesn't do it on the fly and it's not incorporated
to run as a service or anything and it doesn't parse
the namespace into the root element, but if people
vote for the issue, I'll spend some time making it
accept an array and run as a service.  But it does
what I need and makes one less thing that I have to
look at when updating my applications.
