  # An implementation note about namespaces:
  # As we parse, when we find namespaces we put them in a hash and assign
  # them a unique ID.  We then convert the namespace prefix for the node
  # to the unique ID.  This makes namespace lookup much faster for the
  # cost of extra memory use.  We save the namespace prefix for the
  # context node and convert it back when we write it.
