Summary: minidom namespace problems

Initial Comment:
Noted on c.l.py: the minidom writexml() function
doesn't tidy up namespace declarations, so you can
output documents that have incorrect namespace
declarations.

DOM Level 3, appendix B, specifies an algorithm for
normalizing namespaces; see
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/namespaces-algorithms.html
.  minidom probably needs to acquire the
normalizeNamespace method, and then writexml() can call
it before doing its work.
