Fair enough: you can work out the logical location of the namespace
definition but not the physical location, just as you can't work out
whether an attribute has been assigned a default value or actually
declared, or whether a '>' has been represented as a '>' or '>' or
'>', whether " or ' were used as quotes around attribute values
and so on.

I guess it depends on how far you're prepared to go to recreate
exactly the source XML that you're displaying, regardless of logical
equivalence.

Cheers,
