Description

The canonicalizer (java) with exc-c14n produces an invalid XML document here. It removes a namespace from an attribute that is still used in that element. It attach an example xsd and xml file.
If I use canonicalize this xml file with exc-c14n it will remove the namespace xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema". So the attribute ns:type="xs:string" won't be valid afterwards.
Even if I add the namespace to the root element (bla:document) it will be removed.

Validated with xmllint --noout --schema example.xsd example.xml

Is this really correct for this canonicalization method to damage the xml file?
