Reading XML namespaces

Wouldn't it be easier if you told the OP how to access the prefix
mappings in lxml etree, or, if this was actually not possible, admitted
that it is actually not possible?

FWIW, in the DOM, you look at all attributes of an element node, and
search for those whose namespace is "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/"

In SAX, you watch the startPrefixMapping events.
