This looks extremely inefficient.

I've reworked this slightly so that it'll now keep track of the next 
expected prefix number. In the vast majority of cases, therefore, only 
one iteration of the namespace list will be required. Usually a WSD XML 
context will not contain more than 3 or 4 namespaces at any rate.

We still need to check for uniqueness, as it is possible that a user 
could explicitly create a namespace prefix called "un4", for instance. 
I've added a test to show that the behaviour of my patch matches that of 
Windows.
