This may be related. If you browse to an XML file, eg https://wayf.incommonfederation.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata.xml it renders without xmlns tags. If you view the source, they're in there!!! Here's a simpler example, paste this into a file and browse to it: <XmlDoc xmlns="myns" />

Gabriel: your comment does not seem to have anything to do with E4X (ECMAScript for XML). Why did you add it to this bug? /be

unrelated to above comments... minor correction... expected should be ==> <m:b xmlns:m="uri.A" xmlns:n="uri.X">x</m:b>

Brendan, I'm sorry. I didn't know where else to log it. Perhaps it's a new bug. I tried to find something related to "xmlns". When Firefox browses an XML file, does it use E4X? (or conversely, does E4X use some of the same toXMLString() code?) Should I open a new bug? Gabriel

Gabriel: no (no) and yes. /be

E4X will be removed again from Spidermonkey (bug 788293)
