XML namespace parse overriding or handling multiple namespaces inside one class

[ronaldtse]

Some XML namespaces are versioned, based on the same prefix. In this case, when encountering a more generic prefix, the parser should still allow parsing:

e.g.
The latest OGC GML namespace is xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2", but there are many who use xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml".

There should be a way to override the namespace in parsing instead of gsubing the content prior to parse?

The workaround right now is:

xml_content.gsub('xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"', 'xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2"')
