XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Sean Truman" <struman AT nuparadigm.com>]

Code:
Element root = new Element("root","http://www.test.com/root";);
root.appendChild(new Element("child"));
Document nd = new Document(root);
System.out.println("Document:"+nd.toXML());

Output:
Document:<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root xmlns="http://www.test.com/root";><child xmlns="" /></root>

Is there a reason that the child xmlns is empty? Or is this normal
behavior?
