Let me preface this by saying that to my understanding Xerces-J and
Xalan-J now share a common LSSerializer implementations and that this
implementation is held and maintained by Xalan. If that's not true let
me know and I'll got bug the Xerces people instead. :)
The LSSerializer implementation is emitting unnecessary xmlns:xml
declarations. We have run in to cases where code receiving XML with
such declarations break. Clearly this is a problem with their code, but
I have no power over them to make them fix it.
Since the xmlns:xml decl is unnecessary would it be possible to add a
config options, like
'http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-namespaces',
that would make the LSSerializer not emit the xml namespace delc?
I also see an issue discussing this was submitted some time ago:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2409
