Werner, It helped a great deal. I'm embarrassed at my misreading of the API. I forgot about the xmlns *namespace* itself, possibly because createElementNS has no need for its explicit expression. Aside from the embarrassment though, it remains the case that the serializer does not need the assistance of setAttributeNS; it does this job itself. Is that unreasonable? What other interpretation of createElementNS is possible?
I have no idea what a serializer does - however, the c14n serializer does not include the xmlns:ds="...." attribute if it is not present at the element. If you the try to parse the resulting XML doc the parser complains regarding "namespace prefix not bound" (or something simliar). See the discussins I hat with Scott and Raul because of a modification in xmlsec-1.4.2 where the KeyInfo object (element) was modified to omit the namespace declaration for the ds: prefix. Which resulted in problems. Regards, Werner
Peter
