[XOM-interest] Why is XOM adding xmlns="" to elements?

Hi,
As you will discover very soon, I know very little about XML and XML
schemas...
I want to use XOM to generate xml documents, because XOM seems to be
easier to understand than other APIs.
My documents must look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<assessmentItem xmlns="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p1"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p1
imsqti_v2p1.xsd"
title = "title">
<responseDeclaration>
blabla
</responseDeclaration>
</assessmentItem>
Therefore I have tried to write the following java code:
Element root = new Element("assessmentItem");
root.setNamespaceURI("http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p1");
root.addNamespaceDeclaration("xsi","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
instance");
root.addAttribute(new Attribute("xsi:schemaLocation", "http://
www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", "http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/
imsqti_v2p1 imsqti_v2p1.xsd"));
root.addAttribute(new Attribute("title,"title"));
Element rp = new Element("responseDeclaration");
but this leads to an output like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<assessmentItem
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
title = "title"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p1
imsqti_v2p1.xsd"
xmlns="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p1">
<responseDeclaration xlmns="">
blabla
</responseDeclaration>
</assessmentItem>
which is not valid.
How do I get rid of the xmlns="" in the responseDeclaration element?
Thanks.
JPM
