bug in axiom_element_find_namespace?

[Dumindu Pallewela <du...@wso2.com>]

When i call axiom_element_find_namespace with parameters uri="urn:def1" and prefix="" for the following xml, it returns the namespace of element <a>. However since <a>'s namespace is not in effect for the element <c>, since element <b> too has a default namespace defined, I suppose this to be a bug. In any case this is the cause for the jira-498.

<a xmlns="urn:def1">
    <b xmlns="urn:def2">
        <c>
        </c>
    </b>
</a>

Assuming this a bug, what I think should be changed in axiom_element_find_namespace is to, return NULL if the first default namespace found in searching for the given namespace (say N), is not equivalent to N.

A patch is attached herewith. Please review and apply.

Dumindu.
