deserialization adds 'xmlns:xml' namespace declaration to element

           Summary: deserialization adds 'xmlns:xml' namespace declaration
                    to element
           Product: Axis
           Version: 1.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Serialization/Deserialization
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@ws.apache.org
        ReportedBy: patrick@zync.at


i have a soap/http web service response (document/literal, message style) that 
contains the following element. it goes over the wire like this (observed using
the tcpmonitor application):

<XMLContent xml:space="preserve">
  ...
</XMLContent>

however, when the response is accessed as a DOM element in the axis
client, the XMLContent element contains a namespace declaration of the
form: xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace". 

when serialized to a textual form, the resulting xml causes problems with
certain tools (e.g., internet explorer won't display the file).

there is a related bug describing a similar problem:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9963

please not that this bug is different from the above in that the namespace 
delcaration is somehow added to the DOM during deserialization of the
response, i.e. not inserted by the DOM2Writer.
