Thanks!

What about

<foo xmlns:mine="martin:von.loewis">
  <bar xmlns:meiner="martin:von.loewis">
    <mine:foobar/>
    <meiner:foobar/>
  </bar>
</foo>

In that case, one of the qnames will change on output when your
algorithm is used - even if the parser provided the original names. By
the way, when parsing this text via

import xml.sax,xml.sax.handler,xml.sax.saxutils,StringIO
p=xml.sax.make_parser()
p.setContentHandler(xml.sax.saxutils.XMLGenerator())
p.setFeature(xml.sax.handler.feature_namespaces,1)
i=xml.sax.InputSource()
i.setByteStream(StringIO.StringIO("""<foo xmlns:mine="martin:von.loewis"><bar xmlns:meiner="martin:von.loewis"><mine:foobar/><meiner:foobar/></bar></foo>"""))
p.parse(i)
print

I get a number of interesting failures. Would you mind looking into
that?

On a related note, it seems that "<xml:hello/>" won't unparse
properly, either...
