[issue8583] Hardcoded namespace_separator in the cElementTree.XMLParser

[Fredrik Lundh]

Fredrik Lundh <fredrik at effbot.org> added the comment:

Namespaces are a fundamental part of the XML information model (both xpath and infoset) and all modern XML document formats, so I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve by pretending that they don't exist.

It's a bit like modifying "import foo" to work like "from foo import *"...
