Description

NamespaceBuilder(Support) requires explicit namespace registration whereas it would be possible to detect namespace declarations from the node attributes.

Example:
def result = builder.outer(id: "3") {
'ns1:innerWithNewNamespace'('xmlns:ns1': "http://foo/other", someAttr: 'someValue')

{ 'ns1:nested'("foo") }

innerWithoutNewNamespace("bar")
}

Pull request with unit test will follow.
