Review Comment:
   _Claude Code on behalf of Guillaume Nodet_
   
   You were right — the prefix should not be removed when the namespace URI is 
known. We've now addressed this properly in the latest commit by adding a 
`namespaces()` method to `XmlNode` that captures the full namespace context 
(prefix → URI) inherited from ancestor elements during parsing.
   
   When writing, if a prefixed attribute like `mvn:combine.children` appears 
but `xmlns:mvn` is not in the local attribute map, the writer now looks up the 
prefix in the namespace context, auto-declares the namespace, and writes the 
attribute with its proper prefix and namespace URI.
   
   The prefix is only stripped as a last resort when no namespace context is 
available at all (e.g., a programmatically built `XmlNode` with no namespace 
bindings). This produces valid XML in all cases.
