This patch does not modify the existing behavior of the library. The namespace_separator parameter is optional. Parameter already exists in the EXPAT library, but it is hard coded in the cElementTree.XMLParser code.

Fredrik, yes, namespaces are a fundamental part of the XML information model. Yet an option of having them ignored is a very valuable one in the performance critical code.
