XML and namespaces

[Wilfredo Sánchez Vega]

I'm having some issues around namespace handling with XML:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> document = xml.dom.minidom .Document()
>>> element = document.create ElementNS("DAV: ", "href")
>>> document.append Child(element)[/color][/color][/color]
<DOM Element: href at 0x1443e68>[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> document.toxml( )[/color][/color][/color]
'<?xml version="1.0" ?>\n<href/>'

Note that the namespace wasn't emitted. If I have PyXML,
xml.dom.ext.Pri nt does emit the namespace:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> xml.dom.ext.Pri nt(document)[/color][/color][/color]
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><href xmlns='DAV:'/>

Is that a limitation in toxml(), or is there an option to make it
include namespaces?
