TR: does DOM2Writer have a bug ?

> Hi,

> The Elements of my DOM belong to a specific namespace, but WITHOUT any
> Prefix (according to namespace specifications).
> Into the SOAP message, I'm surprised to notice that my DOM is

> The serialisation is correct when Elements have a prefix.

> In other words:
> If my DOM contains an Element such as: <Element xmlns="xxxx" /> 
> It is serialized into : <Element /> (where is the namespaceURI?)
> but, if my DOM contains an Element such as : <pr:Element
> xmlns:pr="xxxx" />
> It is correctly serialized into : <pr:Element xmlns:pr="xxxx" />
