Description

The DOMUtils.cloneNode code doesn't handle default namespace declarations correctly when processing an XQuery result from Saxon.

For example:

<ns1:parent xmlns:ns1="abc">
<ns1:child xmlns="def">
<ns2:nestedChild xmlns:ns2="def"/>
</ns1:child>
</ns1:parent>

results in:

<ns1:parent xmlns:ns1="abc">
<ns1:child xmlns:xmlns="def">
<ns2:nestedChild xmlns:ns2="def"/>
</ns1:child>
</ns1:parent>

Notice that the default namespace has been rewritten as xmlns:xmlns which is invalid.

Granted the above example is a bit odd, but strange things can happen when passing nodes in and out of XSLT and XQuery with respect to namespace declarations.
