But in that case, the serializer will have to be aware of the hierarchy - once the xmlns attribute has been added to any element (A), it does not need to be added to any child elements of A. If it becomes the responsibility of the serializer and then the serializer's job is no longer a trivial task of walking the tree and generating XML, it has to now maintain a list of all namespaces and generate the appropriate 'xmlns' attributes at the proper points. The code that I currently have uses the NS API, but adds the 'xmlns' attr anyway to relevant elements. This is more convenient since the code that creates the DOM knows at each point whether an element will require the 'xmlns' attribute or not. Is this the wrong approach?
