Description

the current serialization of privileges does not make use of the namespace capabilities of an xml document. for example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<privileges xmlns:foo="http://www.foo.com/1.0">
<privilege name="foo:testRead"/>
</privileges>

the namespace needs to be explicitly defined in the document node, although not used in any of the elements. i think a better format would be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<privileges xmlns:foo="http://www.foo.com/1.0">
<foo:testRead />
</privileges>
