Below is what I think I did.
A few changes:
- Change prefixes to be something less important in the API.
- Rework the Element struct to force a namespace. In XMPP everything is
namespaced.
- Remove parent ref on what was previously NamespaceSet and is now
Prefixes.
More specifically this means `Element::new` has changed to require
`Element`'s new new properties as parameters. `Element::builder` and
`Element::bare` now require a namespace unconditionally.
`Element::prefix` has been removed.
This new API is based on the fact that prefixes are non-essential
(really just an implementation detail) and shouldn't be visible to the
user. It is possible nonetheless to set custom prefixes for
compatibility reasons with `ElementBuilder::prefix`. **A prefix is
firstly mapped to a namespace, and then attached to an element**, there
cannot be a prefix without a namespace.
Prefix inheritance is used if possible but for the case with no
prefix ("xmlns") to be reused, we only check custom prefixes declared on
the tag itself and not ascendants. If it's already used then we generate
prefixes (ns0, ns1, ..) checking on what has been declared on all
ascendants (plus of course those already set on the current tag).
Example API:
```rust
let mut elem = ElementBuilder("stream", "http://etherx.jabber.org/streams")
.prefix(Some(String::from("stream")), "http://etherx.jabber.org/streams)
.prefix(None, "jabber:client")
.attr(..)
.build();
assert_eq!(elem.ns(), String::from("http://etherx.jabber.org/streams"));
```
See also the few tests added in src/tests.
TODO: Fix inconsistencies wrt. "prefix:name" format provided as a name
when creating an Element with `Element::new` or `Element::bare`.
`Element::builder` already handles this as it should, splitting name and
prefix.
TODO: Change `Element::name` method to `Element::local_name` to make it
more explicit.
