Given that I gave it that classification, let me explain that its alpha status is primarily justified by the fact that it doesn't attempt to cover the entire DOM API. As I mentioned in my original contribution to this thread, the serialisation is done by libxml2 itself - arguably a wise choice given the abysmal performance of many Python DOM implementations when serialising documents. I'll look into namespace-setting issues in the libxml2 API, but I imagine that the serialisation mechanisms control much of what you're seeing, and it's quite possible that they can be configured to perform in whichever way is desirable.
