Per https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24781 , the XML output returned by the API has a namespace since 1.18.

Per the discussion on the bug, this list, and elsewhere, I have reverted the unconditional addition of the XML namespace. Once r99135 [1] has been deployed, the API will no longer output an XML namespace unless the includexmlnamespace has been set.
