Having the default namespace declared on an ancestor of the context element is completely valid in this case, since the soap:Envelope element is associated with a different namespace. You could see what happens if you serialise the document using a different library function or document/node method, however. > Code: > from xml.dom import implementation > from xml.dom.ext import PrettyPrint > > namespace = 'http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope' > > # create XML DOM document > doc = implementation.createDocument(None, '', None) [...] Note that according to the specifications, the element name should be None (null) for this kind of createDocument invocation.
