Description

When serializing a DOM using the identity transform, Xalan omits all attribute
namespace declarations resulting in invalid XML. See the attached code for an
example.

XalanJ 2.5.2 produces:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<element ns:attr="value"/>

Whereas the correct output should be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<element xmlns:ns="http://www.namespaceuri.com/" ns:attr="value"/>

As produced by SAXON et al.
