Description
It would be great if mini-html-parser can optionally parse XML text. For example:
``` javascript
str = "
- custom bold
- regular bold ";
a = htmlParser(str);
b = a.parse()[0];
b.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeName
>> "X:B"
```
I guess the easiest way to do it is to add `':'` in `rstarttag` and `rendtag` regexps:
``` javascript
var rstarttag = /^<([-A-Za-z0-9_:]+) ... /;
var rendtag = /^<\/([-A-Za-z0-9_:]+) ... /;
```

Research direction
Start by locating the parser code that defines the rstarttag and rendtag regular expressions. Confirm how optional XML parsing should be enabled, then verify that namespaced tags such as x:b can be parsed and produce the requested nodeName without changing ordinary HTML behavior.
