Description

This applies to a blueprint-parser component.
NamespaceHandler interface does not list the namespaces this handler supports which makes it difficult to automate the registration of handlers in non-OSGI contexts.
Having a Namespace annotation will provide an optional mechanism for NamespaceHandlers to advertise the list of supported namespaces and help discovering the handlers in non OSGI contexts but also introspect them in OSGI if needed.
