Nothing needs to be done here because, by nature, the SAX API is not
aware of namespaces. Your derived SAX parser must decide how to deal
with them. It is not hard to see if an attribute name equals "xmlns" to
check for a namespace declaration or string.find(':') to look for a
namespace prefix on an element or attribute.
