test_namespace.clj just contains some unit tests for now. The final patch
will have usage examples.

With the proposal, you can define your xml namespaces on a
clojure-namespace level and refer them via keyword namespaces:

(ns thing)

(xml-default-prefix *ns* "thing")
(xml-prefix *ns*
  "thing" "http://thing";)

(def e4 (xml/sexp-as-element
          [::first {} [::second {}]]))

This improves on handling raw xml-prefixes in two ways:
- The full xml namespace "http://thing"; is known for an xml name like
::first, ::second, not just the prefix you happened to assign in code.
- You can combine xml fragments from different parts of code, without
worrying about prefix assignment. The emitter takes care of assigning xmlns
declarations.

cheers
