[xml] libxml seems to add fault/redundant xmlns:xml statement

[Peter Korf <peter niendo de>]

Hi, 

I have some questions about libxml..and the xmlnsml statement.
it seems libxml generates such statements into svg drawings from inkscape.
and xalan can't process files which contains this statement.

Related to this I found: 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-ietf-xmldsig/2001OctDec/0111.html

 Is there is any reason for adding this?
It would be added if the file contains any other xml:* attribute.

I donÂt know if this is a problem of xalan or libxml (or both),
but OpenOffice can not open SVG from inkscape, because it uses xalan.
see: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2497

If there is any way to remove this statement or is this an issue for xalan?

Thanks, Peter
