  You're confusing the notion of namespace node in the XPath
data model and declaration of namespace. A namespace node in
the XPath data model just indicate that the given namespace binding
is in effect on that node, this does not mean that when that
node is serialized a namespace declaration must be emitted.
   http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#namespace-nodes

 The only requirement for a serializer is that the sets of namespace
nodes found when rebuilding an XPath data model from the serialization
is a superset of the original one.
