Description

The PolicyReference.serialize(..) method does not write namespace declarations (e.g. for the "wsp" namespace).
This happens to be a problem, when a PolicyReference instance is serialized to a non-namespace repairing XMLOutputWriter as it happens in Axis2 PolicyUtil.getPolicyComponentAsOMElement(..).
The issue appears only if the PolicyReference is serialized and then parsed as a single element, since if it is part of a larger document, it will most probably
already contain the namespace declaration.
