[Pnet-developers] A Look into XmlTextWriter

[Adam Ballai]

I'm doing a revamp of the writer because it lacks in many areas.  Found some 
peculiar bugs and fixed a couple get to jabber.net going.  One thing that 
breaks my brain is why there is a check to see if a prefix exists for a 
namespaceURI and if it doesn't exist it creates a pseudo prefix ie: n1.  This 
behavior seems to go against my thinking... If prefix == null/string.empty && 
namespaceURI exists add an attribute without a prefix declaration, ala 

<node xmlns="my:namespace" />  instead of <n1:node xmlns="my:namespace" />

Is this pseudoprefix stuff in the writer there for any productive reasons?  

I have a patch to change this behavior I will commit if no one objects.
