It's a shame the default ns behavior in Elementtree is in such a poort

issue.
There is at least one ElementTree API implementation that retains
prefixes, lxml.ETree. Go google for it.

No, I did not forget your infoset subset. I was comparing it with other
infoset subsets described in various XML specifications.
I agree 100% that prefixes were not

With Elementtree this isn't so. Lundh apparently believes he knows
better than you and I on how our namespaces should

etc. The correct behavior should be to write the file in the form that
it was read,

Given xml with no namespaces, Elementtree works perfectly. However, if
