The version in XMLFilterBase is:

    def startElementNS(self, name, qname, attrs):
        self._cont_handler.startElement(name, attrs)

It should be:

    def startElementNS(self, name, qname, attrs):
        self._cont_handler.startElementNS(name, qname,
attrs)

I've seen examples using this method, so in some
version somewhere it must work -- but not in my 2.4
standard libraries, at least.

Err.. Make that: "not in my 2.3 standard libraries"
