Eric Wout van der Steen commented on XALANJ-2409:
-------------------------------------------------
We've just switched to Xalan 2.7.1 (from Xalan 2.7.0 with Xerces 2.7.1) and see
the same effect.
> LSSerializerImpl adds redundant xmlns:xml namespace bindings.
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: XALANJ-2409
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2409
> Project: XalanJ2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Serialization
> Reporter: Chris Simmons
> Attachments: boundxmlprefix.xml, patch3092.txt, TestSerializer.java
>
>
> We switched over when the xerces serializers were deprecated but found tha
> the xalan serializer insists on adding bindings for the xml namespace. I
> (and the xerces serializer) believe that this is not necessary - the xml
> namespace is built-in.
> This resulted in our XML being littered with thousands of needless
> xmlns:xml=... attributes. We've worked around this by making sure we put one
> on the document root. I'd like to see these attributes not serialized.
> I'll attach a test showing this behviour shortly. It shows that xerces
> didn't add them but xalan does.
