I was using version 3-1.1.3.4M, I've just upgraded to 3-1.1.4c but it
makes no difference.

I did find an interesting thing, if I just change back the prefixes from
ns1: to o: then it works again. MS Word is ignoring the locally declared
namespaces altogether and is looking for the prefix "o". Forget that
"n1" is just the same namespace....

FAILS (n1 prefix not o)
<v:shape adj="0,,0" coordsize="" id="_x0_0_180_240.0094"
n1:spid="_x0000_s1026" n1:spt="100" path="" style="blah blah"
xmlns:n1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">

WORKS (back to o prefix)
<v:shape adj="0,,0" coordsize="" id="_x0_0_180_240.0094"
o:spid="_x0000_s1026" o:spt="100" path="" style="blah blah"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">

ALSO WORKS (o is corrupted)
<v:shape adj="0,,0" coordsize="" id="_x0_0_180_240.0094"
o:spid="_x0000_s1026" o:spt="100" path="" style="blah blah"
xmlns:o="urn:LOOK-MUMMY-I-MADE-IT-UP"
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">

So I guess the problem is really with ms word, but can I suggest that
the serializer should follow the prefixes as loaded, rather than
changing the loaded prefix "o" to the new prefix "n1"?
