I totally want this :-). Right now I have to parse the resulting string 
that I get from Expat to split out the three arguments again. Moreover, 
as the length of the string is not passed along I can't start scanning 
for the separator from the end of the string and so often we have to go 
over the whole namespace URI, which is the longest of the three 
arguments in most cases. A lot of overhead that we could avoid.
