Re: [lxml-dev] lxml namespace extensions: allowing a default ns/custom element class

Hi Holger,

I meant that it was possible to have namespace-agnostic, per-tagname custom default classes (as opposed to namespace-aware per-tagname custom classes), but admit I don't really have any usecase for that.

And admittedly your solution and API is nice and clean.

I already had such a thing in the back of my head for a while, so it didn't come as a surprise. I just wasn't quite sure how to get it straight. Your proposal assured me that a utility function is the way to go. :)

I don't think it's a good idea to support tag->element mappings without namespaces. The way it works now assures that element classes are associated only with qualified tag names and I think that's the right thing to do.
