+1 for a utility function that returns a (ns, local-name)-tuple.

 From an lxml.objectify-perspective, objectify stays easier to use if the 
number of element methods

remains "small" due to the fact that method and sub-element access use the 
same syntax. 

 A pure python utility implementation would be instantly usable  on 
ElementTree, too, wouldn' it?

 I for one do not like the smart string stuff too much. Doesn't this 
undermine ElementTree compatibility?

This is different for xpath, which ElementTree doesn't really support. 

I'll admit this is gut-feeling comment, though.
