[OpenLayers-Dev] Format.XML, xmlns and QName

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Hi list,

I've been tracking down a problem in the SOS client, where the XML created
had a value which is QName, i.e.:

<resultModel>om:Measurement</resultModel>

However, even though "om" is in the namespaces object of the format,
xmlns:om was not added automatically.

Is there a way to do this, similar to what is done for elements which are
a QName, where things go okay automatically?

I now programmatically added the xmlns as a workaround.
