	10	class attribute to the namespace name. Global attributes can be assigned a
	11	namespace by setting the ``xmlns`` attribute on the attribute class itself
	12	(not on the :class:`Attrs` class). The classes :class:`Prefixes` and
	13	:class:`NSPool` are gone too. Instead a new class :class:`Pool` is used to
