ElementNamespaceClassLookup(self, fallback=None)

Element class lookup scheme that searches the Element class in the Namespace registry.

Usage:

    >>> lookup = ElementNamespaceClassLookup()
    >>> ns_elements = lookup.get_namespace("http://schema.org/Movie")

    >>> @ns_elements
    ... class movie(ElementBase):
    ...     "Element implementation for 'movie' tag (using class name) in schema namespace."

    >>> @ns_elements("movie")
    ... class MovieElement(ElementBase):
    ...     "Element implementation for 'movie' tag (explicit tag name) in schema namespace."
