[go-nuts] Name conflict while decoding with package encoding/xml

With the "media:content" tag, the xml.Decoder strips "media:" and sees it
as "content". xml.Decoder.Token is treats ":" as a NameStartChar even
when it occurs as a NameChar; it does properly decode ":media:content".
  You should probably file a bug report, since according to spec
NameStartChar can be NameChar.

The xml.Decoder treats a ':' in the name as delimiting the namespace.
  Thus, "media:content" returns
            d.Space = "media"
            d.Local = "content"

Here's the relevant method from go/src/pkg/encoding/xml/xml.go (line 1022f)
-

// Get name space name: name with a : stuck in the middle.
// The part before the : is the name space identifier.
func (d *Decoder) nsname() (name Name, ok bool) {
    s, ok := d.name()
    if !ok {
       return
    }
    i := strings.Index(s, ":")
    if i < 0 {
       name.Local = s
    } else {
       name.Space = s[0:i]
       name.Local = s[i+1:]
    }
    return name, true
}
