XForms/Changing Namespaces in Submission
< XForms
Motivation
You want to control the way that namespace prefixes are handled in your submission.
Method
We will use the includenamespaceprefixes attribute of a submission.
The XForms 1.1 specification allows the user to change the way that namespace prefixes are handled in a submitted element.
Here is an example of the use of the includenamespaceprefixes attribute to the submission element.
<xf:submission action="http://example.com/submit"
method="post" id="submit"
includenamespaceprefixes=""/>
<xf:submission action="http://example.com/submit"
method="post" includenamespaceprefixes="#default"/>

<task xmlns="http://www.example.com/task">
<task:id>123</task:id>
<task-name>Task Name</task-name>
<task-description>Task Description</task-description>
</task>
With Namespace Prefixes
<task:task xmlns:task="http://www.example.com/task">
<task:task:id>123</task:id>
<task:task-name>Task Name</task:task-name>
<task:task-description>Task Description</task:task-description>
</task:task>
