I should add that the current Python documentation says 
(http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-xml.sax.handler.html):

'''feature_namespaces 
       Value: "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces" 
       true: Perform Namespace processing (default). '''

Now if lots of application break because they do not take the
documentation into account, these applications should be fixed. And the
buggy parser implementation that came in the the first place should be
fixed too. 

I note that your implementation of SAX for xmlproc has the feature enabled
by default.
