xmlns attributes dropped from output with sax.Writer.java sample program

           Summary: xmlns attributes dropped from output with
                    sax.Writer.java sample program
           Product: Xerces2-J
           Version: 2.0.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: SAX
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jcoughlin@veridicom.com


I am moving from Xerces 1.4.3 to 2.0.1.
I first run some of my sample schemas and instance documents with the supplied
sax.Writer and dom.Writer sample programs. With the same input the two sample 
programs produce different output. The sax.Writer drops all xmlns attributes 
from the document root element.

Files included:
  zValidateDom.cmd   - A shell script to invoke dom.Writer with the following
                       options: -v -s -f -n
  zValidateSax.cmd   - A shell script to invoke dom.Writer with the following
                       options: -v -s -f -n
  X208PublicKey.xml  - The input instance document.
  asn1.xsd.xml       - The schema document.
  _Dom_validated.X208PublicKey.xml - Output from running zValidateDom.cmd
  _Sax_validated.X208PublicKey.xml - Output from running zValidateSax.cmd

  Note: When running the two command files, I manually renamed the output files
        with either _Dom or _Sax respectively.

  Xerces 1.4.3 did not have this behaivor.
  Can you tell me why the xmlns attributes were dropped?
  
  I have this behaivor in my code as well. That is why I run the sample programs
  before anything else when moving from one version to another.
