[OAI-implementers] Namespaces in elements

[Jozef Kruger]

Hi everybody,

I just implemented the output of my oai server by transforming our own
xml format to for example dublin core (each supported output format
having it's own .xsl stylesheet), however, in the transformed xml MSXML
has replicated the dublin core namespace for each dc element:
<dc:title
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Walangara</dc:title> 
Where it was:
<dc:title>Walangara</dc:title> 

My question is, is this a problem?
Hussein's repository explorer does NOT complain about this, so that made
me feel a little confident.

Cheers,
