Thanks, that was a long-standing issue.


Checked in with a few changes:

> +(defun make-xmls-builder (&key (include-default-values t)
> +			  (include-namespace-uri nil))

Applied with default (include-namespace-uri t).

> +              when (and (or (sax:attribute-specified-p attr)
> +			    include-default-values)
> +			(or (not include-namespace-uri)
> +			    (not attr-namespace-uri)
> +			    attr-local-name))

What is the (or ..) test for?  IIUC, it currently removes declarations
for the default namespace (xmlns="a") but not declarations for other
namespaces (xmlns:b="a").  If removal of namespace declarations was the
idea of this test, it should probably affect all of them, but only if
*include-xmlns-attributes* is false.

Applied without the OR.

> +			  (t
> +			   (let ((lq (length qname))
> +				 (ll (length local-name)))
> +			     (if (eql lq ll)
> +				 nil
> +				 (subseq qname 0 (- lq ll 1)))))))

Changed to use just qnames in this mode.  The old mode with pairs of
local name and prefix was useless.


Finally, I have changed serialization (CXML-XMLS:MAP-NODE) to also
distinguish between the two representations.  With namespace URI, we run
the events through the namespace normalizer, which invents prefixes for
us.  Without namespaces, we continue to generate namespace-less SAX
events, which are suitable for normal serialization purposes (but
nothing else, really).
