Missing namespace information on serialized DOM nodes

           Summary: Missing namespace information on serialized DOM nodes
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: CurrentCVS
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xml.utils
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: cziegeler@apache.org


The current implementation of the DOMBuilder or the DOM serializer (I really 
don't know) has problems when serializing DOM nodes.
Attached is a test class (called Test2) and an XML document (a.xml).
The test class reads the document using a SAX Parser, and
creates a DOM object. Then an inner child of the DOM is serialized
to a new document called b.xml. As you can see, the resulting document
has no namespace declarations! (However serializing the whole document a.xml 
works fine.)
Either the used DOMBuilder doesn't set the namespace information correctly in 
the DOM or the serializer doesn't look up the namespace information from parent 
nodes.
