Importing a document and moving the namespace

[Max Pimm <ma...@gmail.com>]

This is probably an easy one...

In my schema i have an element that can also be used as a root element of
another document.

I am trying to import an external file representing the other document into
an element in my document.

The file representing the other document is something like

<ns:otherDoc xmlns:ns="http://../otherDoc">
   <someElement>a</someElement>
</ns>

This gets imported fine but the namespace is written in the element where
it is imported and i would like to move the namespace declaration to the
root of my document.

I've tried varios xmlOptions to no avail.

What am i missing?

Thanks
Max
