A long time ago, I wrote a NamespaceNormalizer that works in two steps:
1 - record all SAX events (using XMLByteStreamCompiler) except namespace
declarations which are stored separately,
2 - replay SAX events, declaring all namespaces before the root element.
This leads to buffering the document, which has a cost, but wouldn't
hurt when the pipeline can be cached.
We could add this as an optional feature of the XMLSerializer.
WDYT?
