XML serializer and name spaces

> I'm using the XML Serializer to output a document direct to the

>
>    <p:processor name="oxf:xml-serializer">
>      <p:input name="data" href="#document#xpointer(/*/document/*)"
> debug="indoc"/>
>      <p:input name="config">
>        <config>
>          <content-type>application/xml</content-type>
>        </config>
>      </p:input>
>    </p:processor>
>
> It works, however in the browser (Firefox 1.5) it displays an XML
> parsing error stating that the prefix is not bound to a namespace.
> The reason is pretty clear to me, as my document looks something like

>
> <document-info xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
>      <document>
>          <mods xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3">
>              <titleInfo ID="t1"  xlink:href=""/>
>          </mods>
>      </document>
> </document-info>
>
> Notice the xlink namespace on the root, while the effect of the XML

> mods.  Now comes the curious part.  If I look at the output from the
> debug attribute (indoc) I see the following:
>
> <mods xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3">
>      <titleInfo ID="t1" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
> xlink:href=""/>
> </mods>

>
> <mods xmlns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3">
>   <titleInfo ID="t1" xlink:href=""/>
> </mods>

> welcome.
