Again, this reeks of featuritis. It would work for only the most
basic cases. Some uses of W3C schemas, almost none of XSLT and XPath.
I suggest ditching this method and just letting the client choose
write the namespace prefix like any other text. After all, the output
is neither malformed, namespace malformed, or non-canonical if the
client supplies the wrong prefix for attribute values or element
content.
