Hmm.. I see what you mean on the first one... I see a fairly minor issue,
just gotta tweak a bit (that's why I posted to the list prior to
committing the code ;-) ...) The second approach should be covered
without problem. Lemme go back and check.

Subject: Re: Bug with DOM2Writer
There is a problem there:
<foo xmlns="bar"/>
will that get recognized correctly with your hack?
What about:
<x:foo xmlns:x="bar" xmlns:y="bar">
<x:baz/>
<y:baz/>
</x:foo>
(I'm not sure about this one.)
Will it also not have the unintended side-effect of eliminating
redundant declarations the programmer may have put in intentionally?
Maybe that's already the case ..
