Re: namespace question

Hi Nick,

Yep, we know it is a bug in Firefox that the root namespace from the 
host document is making into the submitted document as the default 
namespace when the default namespace was given to be empty.  But what 
we'd like to know is whether a default empty namespace should be placed 
on the submitted document at all.  If the first default namespace we see 
is empty as we work our way up the tree, should we NOT output it and 
from then on ignore the default namespace or should we output it?

Thanks,
--Aaron
