Re: I need to make sure that all namespace declaration

I thought, from your OP, that the doc looked more something like this:

<root>
  <somenode xmlns:in="urn:invoice">
     <in:Invoice>
         <in:somenode />
     </in:Invoice>
  </somenode>
</root>

<root>
   <in:Invoice xmlns:in="urn:invoice">
       <in:somenode />
   </in:Invoice>
</root>

which I now have by basically running the toplevel layout as a named
template and copying the xml structure I need into the xforms:model

and that you rather want the namespace declaration on the in:Invoice
element (middle example), and not before that.

The element that is serialized as '<:Invoice>' is not a legal XML+NS
element (I believe it would be legal in old original XML, without
namespaces, but that's not what XSLT creates).When you say 'put to the
filesystem', do you mean the XSLT serializer, or your own
post-processor? If any XSLT serializer creates a tag like that, it's an
error.

obviously the xforms engine was incorrect to serialize that structure
but that is something different.
