I've added support for the default (unqualified) namespace ID in the source 
SXML now; the code is available at https://github.com/ursetto/sxml-serializer 
while I run a couple more tests.  Formerly, you could render to unqualified 
names but not use them properly in the source.

[Note: below, unqualified names are rendering to the xhtml: namespace, because 
there is a list of default namespace URI -> ID mappings, called 
conventional-ns-prefixes.  To override this and render them without 
qualification, add *default* as the 3rd arg of the namespace association (as 
the "original prefix").  The word "original" is used as if the XML document was 
the original source and you had parsed it to SXML; the SXML prefix and XML 
prefix are permitted to differ.]
