[Exist-open] Problem with data obtained via request:get-data

[cvdw <wo...@nl...>]

I'm trying to http post XML into eXist via a query file. Let's say the query
is as simple as:

declare namespace request="http://exist-db.org/xquery/request";
declare namespace xmldb="http://exist-db.org/xquery/xmldb";
declare option exist:serialize "method=xhtml media-type=application/vnd.xfdl
indent=yes omit-xml-declaration=no";

(: get the data from an HTTP post :)
let $xfdl := request:get-data()

let $file-name := 'mycat.xfdl'
let $collection-string := 'xmldb:exist:///db/ordering/'
let $collection := xmldb:collection($collection-string, "admin", "")
let $retStore := xmldb:store($collection-string, $file-name, $xfdl)
return
$xfdl

The first part of the XML I'm posting looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<XFDL xmlns="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/XFDL/7.1"
xmlns:custom="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/XFDL/Custom"
xmlns:designer="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/workplace/forms/designer/2.6"
xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
xmlns:exist="http://exist.sourceforge.net/NS/exist"
xmlns:xfdl="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/XFDL/7.1"
xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <globalpage sid="global">
      <global sid="global">
         <designer:date>20070730</designer:date>

After reading the data using let $xfdl := request:get-data()

The XML now looks like:

<XFDL xmlns="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/XFDL/7.1">
   <globalpage sid="global">
      <global sid="global">
         <designer:date
xmlns:designer="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/workplace/forms/designer/2.6">20070730</designer:date>

What is causing the stripping of the namespace declarations in my XML
leaving only the default and then explicitly adding the namesapces to the
node(s) that have the prefix ?

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
