There is clearly work to do here with respect to xml name spaces,
but I don't believe the changes in this cycle are clearly correct.
The changes in this cycle have visible impact on the generated xml,
possibly breaking existing programs, and yet it's not clear that they
are the end of the story: there is still significant confusion about how
name spaces work or should work (see #9519, #9775, #8167, #7113).
I would like to wait to make breaking changes until we completely
understand what the behavior should be and can evaluate the benefit
of those breaking changes. My main concern here is that we will break
programs in Go 1.5 for the sake of name space adjustments and then
while trying to fix those other bugs we'll break programs in Go 1.6 too.
Let's wait until we know all the changes we want to make before we
decide whether or how to break existing programs.
This CL reverts:
5ae822b encoding/xml: minor changes
bb7e665 encoding/xml: fix xmlns= behavior
9f9d66d encoding/xml: fix default namespace of tags
b69ea01 encoding/xml: fix namespaces in a>b tags
3be158d encoding/xml: encoding name spaces correctly
and adjusts tests from
a9dddb5 encoding/xml: add more EncodeToken tests.
to expect Go 1.4 behavior.
I have confirmed that the name space parts of the test suite
as of this CL passes against the Go 1.4 encoding/xml package,
indicating that this CL successfully restores the Go 1.4 behavior.
(Other tests do not, but that's because there were some real
bug fixes in this cycle that are being kept. Specifically, the
tests that don't pass in Go 1.4 are TestMarshal's NestedAndComment
case, TestEncodeToken's encoding of newlines, and
TestSimpleUseOfEncodeToken returning an error for invalid
token types.)
I also checked that the Go 1.4 tests pass when run against
this copy of the sources.
Fixes#11841.

The current XML printer does not understand the xmlns
attribute. This change changes it so that it interprets the
xmlns attributes in the tokens being printed, and uses
appropriate prefixes.
Fixes#7535.
