Hi,
I'm using the DOM 3 serializer in Xalam. Actually, its the one now
packaged with Xerces since they deprecated their own serializers. I've
found that this serializer adds xmlns:xml namespace bindings all the
while. Now this is not just wasteful its rather bad from a
compatibility point of view since MSXML seems to treat an explicit
binding of this prefix as an error! If you don't believe me try viewing
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12371800/boundxmlprefix.xml
in IE.
Needless to say we're keen on getting this fixed ASAP since its causing
problems for our clients using Microsoft based tools. I've already
attached a test and patch to fix the bug, so I'd appreciate it if
somebody could have a look. Its literally a one line fix.

Cheers,
Chris Simmons.
