startPrefixMapping namespace problem

[Rui Alberto L. Goncalves]

Hi all,
does anyone knows why the following code (attach) produces an invalid
result? Prefixes are used, but the namespaces are not declared!!
I'm probably missing something trivial, but I can't figure out what I'm
doing wrong here.

The produced result is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<x:element/>

Prefix "x", is used but not declared!!!

I'm using xalan 2.7.0.

Thanks for any help.

Rui
