Extraneous namespace attributes

[Lee Breisacher]

I'm implementing a web service using @WebServiceProvider and 
Provider<SOAPMessage>.

I'm getting XML output that looks like this:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
        <SOAP-ENV:Header 
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"/>
        <SOAP-ENV:Body 
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
                ....
        </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

The xmlns:SOAP-ENV attributes on the Header and Body elements are redundant. 
They are not incorrect, just makes things cluttered.

Is there a way to "normalize" the outgoing XML so that the inner xmlns 
attributes are omitted?

Thanks,

Lee
