Just curious, how would that be applied to the xslx namespace problem example given? If the full fix is to implement namespacing, what would the KISS approach be in the right direction?
This avoids the endless whack-a-mole that you get with a partial solution such as "assume namespaces are superflous", which you almost certainly will eventually discover weren't optional.
Or some other hapless person using your terrible code will discover at 2am at night sitting alone in the office building while desperately trying to do something mission critical such as using a "simple" XML export tool to cut over ten thousand users from one Novel system to another so that the citizens of the state have a functioning government in the morning.
Ask me how I know that kind of "probably won't happen" thing will, actually, happen.
