[xmlsec] Encryption and namespace

Not in the spec. One can dump the document and decrypted piece into
a string and then parse the whole document back. Not very fast
and not very efficient :(

Yes, you are right. It's much more. The general idea behind the spec is
that you get a piece of XML document and encrypt it, then someone
decrypts this piece and gets original XML document "as-is".
