*Some* serialization code will do this. Some will not. None of them will help me deal with signatures effectively, so relying on the behavior of a serializer is not really an option in my case. I guess what you're saying is that the DOM3 methods are really not general purpose, but are intended to be used in conjunction with the DOMLS serializer. What seems odd to me is that in effect, the DOMLS code can't rely on these methods to know when to declare namespaces. That seems kind of strange. Anyway, I understand that it's intentional behavior, so I'll write my own. -- Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
