Description Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2014-03-24 17:46:30 UTC 
Specifically, step 11.2 in the Element serialization is too naïve.

There are cases where default namespace decls can cause the prefix of child to be dropped.

There are cases where the prefix definition is necessary to keep.
Comment 1 Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2014-03-24 22:49:52 UTC 
Cases of same-namespace parent/child relationships:

Parent (default ns) --> Child (no prefix) 
> No prefix
Parent (default ns) --> Child (prefix + attr mapping prefix->different ns)
> Child prefix dropped
Parent (default ns) --> Child (prefix + attr mapping prefix->same ns)
> Child prefix kept
Parent (prefixed ns) --> Child (no prefix)
> Prefix added to child
Parent (prefixed ns) --> Child (prefix + attr mapping prefix->different ns)
> Prefix changed to parent's
Parent (prefixed ns) --> Child (prefix + attr mapping prefix->same ns)
> No change (child prefix used)
