Hello,

I'm a happy XOM user so far but know I've a problem I didn't find an
easy solution.

I need to preserve this structure

<a:x xmlns:a="urn:1">
<a:y xmlns:a="urn:1">
...
</a:y>
</a:x>

and need to regenerate those duplicate namespace declaration later on.

Why do you need to do this? I might be convinced to make this possible, but you'd need a good use case first. I can't think of one.

I'd have to look at the code, but my suspicion is that XOM is maintaining those declarations internally, but the serializer does not bother to output the second.
