The xmlns attribute isn't removed probably because your serializer needs it 
to declare the namespaces in scope. It is indeed a special attribute, and the 
only way to remove it would probably be to first make all elements and 
attributes belong to no namespace, and then to try to remove it. I'm not sure 
how useful that would be, but it's probably the only way to get there.
