Thanks keshlam, and Nathan, for answering. > See current version of the DOM spec for discussions of Namespace > Well-Formedness, Namespace Normalization, and normalization during > serialization. http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407/namespaces-algorithms.html#normalizeDocumentAlgo I think this refers rather to the question of which namespace declaration attributes are required in order for a given document to be namespace-well-formed. > In the XPath data model, namespace declarations are not considered > attributes. Yes. And I was wondering if Xerces had a DOM parser option to not enlist namespace declaration attributes among the ordinary attributes as in: NamedNodeMap nodeMap = elm.getAttributes(); If so, I haven't found it. Just asking because coming from LibXML2 (which I'm not saying is the Specification Incarnate), I'm not used to finding namespace declaration attributes together with straight attributes when using the DOM parser. So maybe there is some switch controlling that behaviour in Xerces?
