writer.writeOpen(x) doesn't write namespaces

[borissmidt]

When i create an element with namespaces it will not write out the namespaces.

def writeDocument(writer: XMLWriter) 
  val rss = doc.addElement("rss")
     .addNamespace("g", "http://base.google.com/ns/1.0")
     .addNamespace("c", "http://base.google.com/cns/1.0")
   writer.writeOpen(rss)  // => doesn't work <rss>
   writer.write(rss) // => works <rss xmlns:c="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0" ... >

A normal write also writes out the namespaces

However when i write it using attributes it writes out the tag with namespaces.

def writeDocument(writer: XMLWriter) 
  val rss = XML.createElement("rss")
     .addAttribute("xmlns:g", "http://base.google.com/ns/1.0")
     .addAttribute("xmlns:c", "http://base.google.com/cns/1.0")
 writer.writeOpen(rss) // => works <rss xmlns:c="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0" ... >

btw it is scala code but that shouldn't matter.

Fixed, namespaces declared directly on an element are written out together with attributes.
Adding attributes which name starts with xmlns should be forbidden, but some applications depend on it so it will be fixed in version 3.0.
