A small SimpleXML gotcha (with namespaces)

I've so far worked only very little with XML with namespaces, especially in terms of parsing it. Therefor, I was quite stumped today on the parsing of a particular snippet of XML which contained an element that had an xlink:href attribute. I just couldn't get that attribute's value out. The solution, as often seems to be the case, is quite simple.
