There's a third option which is to do it upon serialization only. That's 
generally how the DOM handles it. DOM 3 Core has an appendix with algos 
to do namespace normalization that you may want to look into if you want 
to provide that option. (Isn't XML::Twig the swiss army chainsaw of XML 
processing tools? Shouldn't it DWIM? :)
