Then you've got bigger problems than just namespace declarations. 
There's a lot more in the original XML that is also not guaranteed to be 
preserved on roundtrip than simply the location of redundant namespace 
declarations. You really need to use XML DSIG, and you'd probably have 
more luck convincing me to add that to XOM than to maintain the exact 
location of additional namespace declarations in this unusual case.
