xml:base is required by the spec to reproduce the correct infoset.
However the xmlns="" looks weird. Is that actual, real output you're
showing me? Or is maybe there a default namespace declaration on the
parent document and not one on the child? If so, then it's necessary.
If not, I suspect I can delete the xmlns="".
