Thank you for being kind.

I have begun investigating down this path. I will not bother you again 
until I have finished there.

In the meantime, I am working around the problem with a regular 
expression to replace 'custom_namespace:' with 'custom_namespace_', 
depending on whether or not lxml deletes the custom namespace.

Thank you for your time.
