DOM serialization omits attribute namespace declarations

           Summary: DOM serialization omits attribute namespace declarations
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.5Dx
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xalan.serialize
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mihobson@hotmail.com


When serializing a DOM using the identity transform, Xalan omits all attribute 
namespace declarations resulting in invalid XML.  See the attached code for an 
example.

XalanJ 2.5.2 produces:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<element ns:attr="value"/>

Whereas the correct output should be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<element xmlns:ns="http://www.namespaceuri.com/" ns:attr="value"/>
