This worries me - I'd like to think namespaces (and even their prefixes)
should be able to survive a round trip through a parser and back to a file.
 Dropping the xmlns: attributes makes that a lot harder.  Given that some
documents may have to go through both namespace-aware and namespace-blind
processing, that could lead to some serious pile-ups.
