 Hi

 I'm writing a SOAP-over-XMPP plugin for Pidgin.. and I've noticed that
 while parsing the XMPP stream, jabber's parser ignores namespace aliases
 and prefixes. Keeping the namespace alias dicitonary is important for me.

 It seems, since libxml2 provides the information. I've compared the code
 with the one in xmlnode.c and came up with the patch. It doesn't intruduce
 any overhead since it marely copies data provided by libxml2 into xmlnode
 structures and I've already tested it.

 I hope the patch format is alright.

 PS Previously I've posted to the devel mailing-list with no reply. The
 thread is here: http://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2008-November/007086.html

 Cheers,
 Michal
