This would seem to be an important cleanup operation, even if it
isn't fast, since you pay for the excess declarations everytime
you use the resulting document.


Look at the C14N (canonicalization) code that is part of the library.  It
handles things like duplicate xmlns declarations.  (It also does more,
like re-ordering attributes, etc., that you might *not* want, but the
semantic information is not changed.)
