Real newbies are likely to want to work without namespace processing
to begin with, so that they can learn one thing (SAX) at a time,
instead of two (SAX and namespaces).

The good thing about having the default this way is that you can
introduce SAX without talking about namespaces at all, and do
namespaces as an advanced topic later.
