Description

When serializing a document that contains many child nodes using the same namespace that is NOT declared on the root,
only the first namespace declaration is output, even if multiple elements require it;

e.g. document contains root element "root" and two children "foo" and "bar", both in the namespace "http://example.com/ns", which is NOT
declarted on root, should be serialized as:

<root>
<ns:foo xmlns:ns="http://example.com/ns">foo contents</ns:foo>
<ns:bar xmlns:ns="http://example.com/ns">bar contents</ns:foo>
</root>

but w/AXIOM 1.2.2 and default StAX parser shipped w/Sun JDK 1.6.0 (SJSXP 1.0?), output is:

<root>
<ns:foo xmlns:ns="http://example.com/ns">foo contents</ns:foo>
<ns:bar>bar contents</ns:foo>
</root>

I have further verified that the problem does not occur if Woodstox 2.0.5 is used as the StAX implementation.

I am not able to verify whether this is due to a bug in Sun's StAX implementation, or in the use AXIOM makes of the various classes. Possible reference issue for SJXSP: https://sjsxp.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=31
