Bug Fixes
1. Small fixes and improvements to namespace coalescence - #62 (Closes issue: #61)

Backwards Compatibility
- Elemental 6.7.0 is 100% backwards compatible with Elemental 6.6.1 (and eXist-db 6.3.0), and it should be a simple drop-in replacement for any user. Like Elemental 6.6.1 it requires Java 8.
- Elemental 7.3.0 is 100% backwards compatible with Elemental 7.2.0, and it should be a simple drop-in replacement for any user. Like Elemental 7.2.0 it requires Java 21.
