Wow it works.  Finally I understand what exactly you mean. I have to
conclude all the sub elements into the parent namespace in order to get
rid of the namespace.

Thank you so much, I have learned something very important today.

In the desired output above, the TEXT element is in the namespace
http://www.fo.com.

So if you want to achieve that output, you must put the TEXT element in
that
