Is there an incantation when using XMLGenerator for Python SAX to work with
default namespaces? Below is what I thought would be an identity transform
(modulo syntax issues) of an XML document, yet it is throwing an error when
using the default namespace on input (but not when using a prefixed
namespace on input).
Looking at the SAX Utilities documentation in Python I don't see any
reference to the default namespace.
Thanks for any help anyone can be on this.
