Parsing files with xml:space

[shepmaster]

I am getting UnknownNamespacePrefix when trying to parse a file which contains a xml:space attribute. It seems that the xml namespace should be always bounded. Is that the case? Is there a way to achieve it (i.e. to tell the parser that certain namespaces are defined elsewhere)

(Moved from @hgrecco's issue shepmaster/sxd-xpath#112)

Yes, it should be the case, but it appears I never set that up!

First few days using Rust here ( loving it ) but hit this issue.

I have a fork where I've added this as a failing test to parser.rs:

    #[test]
    fn support_standard_xml_namespace_prefix() {
        full_parse("<a xml:space=\"preserve\"/>").expect("This should parse.");
    }

Until this ticket is resolved, is there a way of working around this as in the original question?

This is the point where I get embarrassed. I had a commit for this that I forgot to push :-(

I've now released 0.2.4 which allows parsing these attributes, but does not actually use them for anything interesting.

@shepmaster awesome +1000 :) just parsing is good enough for now. Eventually (if needed) probably honouring the original whitespace when writing out the doc again would be good.
