That's exactly why it's there. You created an element that is in no
namespace. Because the parent element is in a namespace, the
serializer must add xmlns="" to the child element to prevent it from
inheriting the default namespace of its parent. If you don't want the
child to be in a namespace, this is correct. If you do want the child
element to be in a namespace, you need to specify this namespace URI
in the Element constructor.
