   <function>xml_parser_create_ns</function> creates a new XML parser
   with XML namespace support and returns a resource handle referencing 
   it to be used by the other XML functions.
  </para>
  <para>
   With a namespace aware parser tag parameters passed to the
   various handler functions will consist of namespace and tag name
   separated by the string specified in
   <parameter>seperator</parameter> or <literal>':'</literal> by
   default. 
  </para>
  <para>
   The optional <parameter>encoding</parameter> specifies the character
   encoding for the input/output in PHP 4. Starting from PHP 5, the input
   encoding is automatically detected, so that the
   <parameter>encoding</parameter> parameter specifies only the output
   encoding. In PHP 4, the default output encoding is the same as the
   input charset. In PHP 5.0.0 and 5.0.1, the default output charset is
   ISO-8859-1, while in PHP 5.0.2 and upper is UTF-8. The supported
   encodings are <literal>ISO-8859-1</literal>, <literal>UTF-8</literal> and
   <literal>US-ASCII</literal>.
