#to_xml: Child element with removed namespace will still have parent namespace

I think that it would be good to clarify in the docs how HappyMapper deals with this in the context of qualified vs unqualified namespaces in XML Schema (if XML Schema conformance is the goal, which seems so). Both of these require mappings that are not obvious, particularly if you want to parse instance docs in a prefix independent manner. See this gist for an example. (Note that these were generated by the jaxb2ruby HappyMapper template).

There, as in @burtlo's example above, :namespace must be set to nil to parse an unqualified instance doc else parsing will fail as the XPath lookup will include the parent's namespace prefix. Not sure if this is a feature or bug 😕.
