I think in order to do namespaces correctly, you'd still need some kind
of registry, and some way to control emitting the namespace declarations
and prefixes at the right time.

There would still be times when you'd want to suppress it (like the
default case), but at the "top" of the relevant element (like the
document's root node), you'd want to be able to have it emit the
declarations.

Of course, (really dreaming now), but it would be _really_cool_ if it
could manage the nested scopes automatically and ensure that you'd spit
out all of the required namespaces used by all of the nested scopes....

I know I'm not making your day here... :)
