[oXygen-user] Namespace prefix unnecessarily added to elements in element list

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Hi David,

To clarify things, this behavior happens only in the Author page (and 
when the default namespace declaration is located before the prefixed 
namespace declaration).
In the Text page the content completion proposes elements without prefix 
no matter how the two declarations appear on the root element.
We'll try to fix the behavior in the Author page, possibly in Oxygen v14.

Regards,
Radu
