Hi Dick, The only thing I can think of that might be removed are namespace declaration attributes. Will be removed if you've set the "namespace-declarations" parameter to false. Of course if you want the namespace declarations to stay in the DOM (which I'm assuming you do for xsi:type and other QName values) you shouldn't set it to false.
Thanks.
