That's about as specific of a scope as one can hope for :)
It seems, that we got namespace comparison right by chance, on the first
try, as they specify exactly our approach (dumb string comparison).

If I read that right, the only thing left to do, is to verify that our
underlying xml parser handles normalization correctly, as per
https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#AVNormalize
