I don't see how '\0' can ever be useful as a separator, since Expat can 
send 1, 2 or 3 pieces (namespace URI, name, prefix) and the string is 
null-terminated. There's no way to find out if one should read beyond 
the '\0', since it can be the terminator of the string or the separator.

Not sure about this one, see above.

Sounds good.

Thanks,
