The current specification as of today documents https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-document-createelementns If you run this in the browser console, var nsdoc = 'http://foo.bar/zoo'; var xmldoc = document.implementation.createDocument(nsdoc, 'Zoo', null); var cpd = document.createElementNS(nsdoc, 'Compound'); var chimp = document.createElementNS(nsdoc, 'Chimp'); cpd.appendChild(chimp) xmldoc.documentElement.appendChild(cpd); /* serializing */ var docserializer = new XMLSerializer(); var flatxml = docserializer.serializeToString(xmldoc); flatxml you get: <Zoo xmlns="http://foo.bar/zoo";> <Compound> <Chimp/> </Compound> </Zoo> but if you run this in the browser console, var nsdoc = 'http://foo.bar/zoo'; var xmldoc = document.implementation.createDocument(nsdoc, 'Zoo', null); var cpd = document.createElement('Compound'); var chimp = document.createElement('Chimp'); cpd.appendChild(chimp) xmldoc.documentElement.appendChild(cpd); /* serializing */ var docserializer = new XMLSerializer(); var flatxml = docserializer.serializeToString(xmldoc); flatxml you get: <Zoo xmlns="http://foo.bar/zoo";> <compound xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <chimp></chimp> </compound> </Zoo> which is a complete different beast. I don't think there is an issue here. And we can close this bug safely. ---------- nosy: +karlcow _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue18182> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
