Ummmm ... those processors do emit well-formed XML, so if you didn't 
get an error, and you did get <p:a/> then your "p" namespace is 
already declared in an ancestor and is already in scope so it isn't needed.

The XML syntax generator will not create a redundant declaration of a 
namespace that is already in scope.

If my suggestion below also does not add a namespace declaration, 
then I assume you already have the namespace declared in scope.

I hope this helps.
