Namespace-prefixes of elements and attributes in XML input files are deleted

[TobiasNx]

If decode XML it seems that namespaces in element and attribute names are deleted:

            <mods:mods ID="duepublico_mods_00074526">
                <mods:name type="personal" xlink:type="simple">
                    <mods:displayForm>Armbruster, André</mods:displayForm>
                    <mods:role>
                        <mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" type="code">aut</mods:roleTerm>
                        <mods:roleTerm authority="marcrelator" type="text">Author</mods:roleTerm>
                    </mods:role>
                    <mods:nameIdentifier type="gnd">1081830107</mods:nameIdentifier>
                    <mods:namePart type="family">Armbruster</mods:namePart>
                    <mods:namePart type="given">André</mods:namePart>
                </mods:name>

FLUX:

default infile = FLUX_DIR + "mods.xml";

infile
| open-file
| decode-xml
| handle-generic-xml
| encode-xml // (or: encode-json)
| write(FLUX_DIR + "result.xml")
;

encoded as XML

                    <type>personal</type>
                    <type>simple</type>
                    <displayForm>

                        <value>André</value>

This is also not documented.

Also the deletion of the namespace prefix creates the problem that you cannot distinguish between:

<mods:name type="personal" xlink:type="simple">

both end up beeing named type

I set up a branch where your input should now result in an output preserving namespaces, like:

                                <mods:name>
                                        <type>personal</type>
                                        <xlink:type>simple</xlink:type>
                                        <mods:displayForm>
                                                <value>Armbruster, André</value>
                                        </mods:displayForm>
                                  </mods:name>

[dr0i]

In the flux you would add the parameter like handle-generic-xml(emitnamespace="true").
