mod_bookmarks2: Fix handling of nick and password elements This form of child retrieval fails when the stanza elements internally don't have an 'xmlns' attribute, which can happen sometimes for some reason, including when they have been constructed via the stanza builder API. When that is the case then the explicit namespace arguemnt does not match the nil value of the internal attribute. Calling `:get_child()` without the namespace argument does the right thing here, with both nil and the parent namespace as valid values for the internal attribute.

4d73a1a6ba68 Convert all wiki pages to Markdown Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> parents: 1782 diff changeset	13 handshake, it can log in without supplying a password (using SASL
4d73a1a6ba68 Convert all wiki pages to Markdown Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> parents: 1782 diff changeset	14 EXTERNAL). This makes it possible to have multiple devices accessing an
