there is related problem that is not immediately visible. consider:

<b:a xmlns:f="foo" xmlns:b="foo>
  <f:child/>
</b:a>

in this case XmlSerialzier will incorrectly produce <b:child/>
*unless* setPrefix is called to setPrefix("f", "foo") before
starTag("foo", "child") but that will lead to spurious 
namespace delcaration after serializaiton (unless
serialzier will not print duplicate namespace delcaration
but that would be very unintuitive ...):

<b:a xmlns:f="foo" xmlns:b="foo>
  <f:child xmlns:f="foo" />
</b:a>


i see no easy solution except to add startTag(prefix, ns, name)
or use setProperty() to set current element/attribute prefix 
(not very elegant solution!)

this is serious problem if we want XML canonicalizaitn to work
correctly with XmlSerializer ...
