 Just to be precise: 

A namespaced attribute value like "xsd:string".

It is easy to set a ns-qualified attribute using Clark notation, as 
anywhere

in lxml.

I'll remove it, then.

Rationale: lxml does a good job of keeping namespace declarations clean 
when

adding elements to a tree anyway, so with objectify's default nsmap 
namespace

declarations concerning xsi:type and py:pytype are usually located at the 
root element

only.

Anyone who needs a real clean document can still conveniently call 
etree.cleanup_namespaces()

after deannotate().
