[basex-talk] SAXSerializer does not transmit namespace declarations as attributes

Hi all, I am using the SAXSerializer to generate SAX events from an org.basex.query.value.item.Item instance. The Item instance represents the database doc's root in this specific case: <r:root xmlns:r="r" xmlns:x="x" x:attr="test"> </r:root> It seems that when the following method is called: org.xml.sax.ContentHandler.startElement(String, String, String, Attributes) the attributes map is missing namespace declarations (I would expect the ns declarations to be mapped to attributes). I.e. the above r:root element will be provided with just the x:attr in the attributes map, but not the xmlns:x as attribute. Do you have any solutions for this issue? How do I get the namespaces when startElement() is executed? Thanks!
