xml-dev - RE: Default Namespaces - why don't they apply to attributes?

[Andrew Layman <andrewl@microsoft.com>]

Perhaps I misunderstand Jonathan Borden's comments, when he writes 

  I've designed XMOP ... to
  serialize objects. This format is similar to SOAP, but focusses on
  serialization of the entire object rather than making a single method call
  or property get/set.

SOAP section five specifically provides serialization rules for entire
objects or graphs of objects. Its use is not limited to method calls but is
a general facility for serialization.
