Hi Joanna, The namespace handling for abstract mappings was a fairly recent addition to the JiBX code, as part of 1.1.3. Prior to that change the code had just assumed that any namespaces used by the abstract mapping had already been declared - now the code generation checks to make sure the namespaces are known to be declared, and if not declares them again.
I think I see how to avoid the redundant namespace declarations in this case, but I'm reluctant to include a change in such an important area (if a namespace declaration is missed the result is invalid XML) in the working code. I will include the change for the upcoming 1.2 beta, though. - Dennis Dennis M.
