#
# Added support for default namespaces
# Fixed a bug when running the script more than once (I was loading it as a module)
# Note that I used System.Linq.XML (and output an XDocument) instead of the old XmlDocument… This means you have to have .Net 3.5 (LINQ) installed. It also means that if you want to be able to use the output via PowerShell’s magic XML dot-notation, you have to cast it to XmlDocument, just write: [xml]$xml = New-XML ... or you can cast it to string, or whatever.
#
#requires -version 2.0
#### NOTE: you can revert this to work in PowerShell 1.0 by just removing the [Parameter(...)] lines
#### BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO pass the $Version $Encoding $Standalone parameters EACH TIME
#### UNLESS you remove them, and switch back to a hardcoded XDeclaration ... or something.

#### I still have to add documentation comments to these, but in the meantime ...

###### ANOTHER EXAMPLE SCRIPT, this time with a default namespace
## IMPORTANT! ## NOTE that I use the "xe" shortcut which is redefined when you specify a namespace
## ## for the root element, so that all child elements (by default) inherit that.
## ## You can still control the prefixes by passing the namespace as a parameter
## ## e.g.: -atom $atom
