I'm not sure one *can* insert the namespace without this function.   
I've not found anything in libxml2 that allows for manipulation of  
namespace after definition.

My read is that both the new function and search change are required  
to get prefixes attach to all the dsig elements.  Would it be over- 
engineering to create a new xmlSecAddChild() function to allow for  
the different search approach?
