Woody binding of namespaced element

[Gianugo Rabellino]

... I still consider myself quite a newbie on Woody, but I'm facing 
a tough issue. I need to bind a woody form to some namespaced XML (a 
SourcePropsWritingTransformer input, in case you were wondering), 
introducing an element with a new namespace. My binding file so far 
is as simple as:

<wb:context xmlns:wb="http://apache.org/cocoon/woody/binding/1.0";
            xmlns:swpt="http://apache.org/cocoon/propwrite/1.0";
            xmlns:test="http://test.com/test/1.0";
            path="/source:patch/source:set">
    <wb:value id="status" path="test:status"/>
</wb:context>
problem is that in my output I get:

<swpt:patch xmlns:swpt="http://apache.org/cocoon/propwrite/1.0";>
  <swpt:source>webdav://localhost/dav/test.xml</swpt:source>
  <swpt:set>
     <test:status>publish</test:status>
   </swpt:set>
</swpt:patch>
where you can notice that the element is created in a correct way, 
but the namespace is _not_ declared, so the output is not 
well-formed XML.

Apart from some obnoxious XSLT tricks that would get the job done, I 
was wondering if I'm doing something obviously wrong, so I'm asking 
for your advice before starting to dig the quite scary Woody code. :-)
