Register XML namespaces cleanly with Python 2.7+ and 3.2+

The old code was relying on a largely used but private variable.
Moreover, it was bugged with the empty string for "D", adding ":"
instead of nothing at the beginning of tag names with Python 2.6,
3.0 and 3.1, breaking at least the Lightning support.

This new code still relies on the private variable for old
Python versions, but uses the good-way™ for actual and future
versions. No default namespace is used for old versions, but
that's not that bad.
