your assumption is correct, this is done because libxml2 is faster in general.

It seems that libxml2 and pure lxml have different behaviour regarding "normalizing namespaces" and that's where the diff comes 
from. This makes at least the validation in the SernaFree XML editor choke for the lxml output...:(

I'm investigating this a little further and will try to find a way around this. I'd really like to have the (almost) same output for 
both XML toolchains, such that it gets accepted by most XML editors out there.

@William: You said that after installing an additional package the processing got faster and correct? My guess would be that you now 
have a lxml distro/package that relies on libxml2 under the hood. This makes the error go away of course...


I'll keep you posted, best regards,

Dirk
