expectedFailure does not recognize whether an expected failure occurred. It ignores every fault inside the test.

• For test_namespace_none there should be a test against raising TypeError when namespace is None and this exception is really expected or the XmlDumpPageGenerator must be able to handle that parameter successfully.

• For test_namespace_string_id the XmlDumpPageGenerator should be able to accept namepaces as string or if this is to be disarded, test should expect an empty list instead of just ignore failing.

• test_start_with_underscore: XmlDumpPageGenerator should be improved to allow underscored start parameters

• test_start_prefix: XmlDumpPageGenerator should be improved to allow prefix start parameters

• xml generator for other test with expectedFailure decorator in TestReferencesBotConstructor should be improved. I guess the problems above solves these tests too.
