-I definitely recommend the former, as it saves you a whole hell of lot of typing. However, there are times when appending a namespace to an element declaration is important and that is when it has a different namespace then `namespsace 'prefix'`.

 Imagine that our `country` actually belonged to a completely different namespace.
 
-    <prefix:address location='home' xmlns:prefix="http://www.unicornland.com/prefix"
-    xmlns:different="http://www.trollcountry.com/different">
-      <prefix:street>Milchstrasse</prefix:street>
-      <prefix:street>Another Street</prefix:street>
-      <prefix:housenumber>23</prefix:housenumber>
-      <prefix:postcode>26131</prefix:postcode>
-      <prefix:city>Oldenburg</prefix:city>
-      <different:country code="de">Germany</different:country>
-    </prefix:address>
+```xml

+</prefix:address>
+```
 
 Well we would need to specify that namespace:
 
 ```ruby
-element :country, Country, :tag => 'country', :namespace => 'different'
+element :country, Country, tag: 'country', namespace: 'different'
 ```
 
 With that we should be able to parse as we once did.
 
-## Large Datasets (in_groups_of)
+### Large Datasets (`:in_groups_of`)
 
-When dealing with large sets of XML that simply cannot or should not be placed into memory the objects can be handled in groups through the `:in_groups_of` parameter.

 end
 ```
 
-This trivial block will parse the large set of XML data and in groups of 5 addresses at a time display the streets.

-Saving a class to XML is as easy as calling `#to_xml`.  The end result will be the current state of your object represented as xml. Let's cover some details that are sometimes necessary and features present to make your life easier.

-When an element contains a nil value, or perhaps the result of the :on_save lambda correctly results in a nil value you will be happy that the element will not appear in the resulting XML. However, there are time when you will want to see that element and that's when `:state_when_nil` is there for you.

-### :read_only
+#### :read_only
 
 When an element, attribute, or text node is a value that you have no interest in
 saving to XML, you can ensure that takes place by stating that it is `read only`.
 
 ```ruby
-has_one :modified, Boolean, :read_only => true
-attribute :temporary, Boolean, :read_only => true
+has_one :modified, Boolean, read_only: true
+attribute :temporary, Boolean, read_only: true
 ```
 
 This is useful if perhaps the incoming XML is different than the out-going XML.

-Parsing the XML to objects only required you to simply specify the prefix of the namespace you wanted to parse, when you persist to xml you will need to define your namespaces so that they are correctly captured.
