written by a "it's the bytes, not the data" guy, obviously ;-)

the standard serializer in 1.2 doesn't support default namespaces, so 
the quickest way to do this is to loop over all tags (use getiterator), 
strip off the "{http://xspf.org/ns/0/}" prefix, add an xmlns attribute 
to the root (if necessary), and write it out.
