You need to explicitly add xmlns declarations to the DOM you are
building as well as creating the elements in the correct namespace.

Yes this is somewhat clumsy; DOM level 3 has some features that improve
the situation somewhat but with DOM level 2 you definitely need to do
the following to force an "xmlns:msg=...." declaration to be output on
the <foo> tag. I expect some variant of this can be used to output a
"default namespace" declaration, ie "xmlns=....".

   // NS_MYMSG = "http://www.acme.com/namespaces/mymessage";
   // NS_XMLNS="http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/";
   Element foo = doc.createElementNS(NS_MYMSG, "msg:foo");
   foo.setAttributeNS(NS_XMLNS, "xmlns:msg", NS_MYMSG);


I suggest you search the mail archives for "serialization". There were
two email threads on this topic just last week.

Simon
