hmmm. This is a rather hot code isn't it? And it introduces string-concat, lookups, inserts, ...
Now I am curios: is the plan to make that the default streamReader and if could we please measure this?
Just something very simple like a
QTime t; t.start();
KWDocument::openUrl(url);
qDebug()<<t.elapsed();
and then compaer some documenty before vs after the patch?

It does this by letting the user enter the expected namespace declarations and then compare those to the actual namespace declarations in the document. If they match everything will be as fast as possible. If they don't, it will be slower but still correct.
