title: Remove xml namespaces from WCF restful response
body: <p>I am using WCF to return a plain old XML (POX) document to the caller.  I am using the XML Serializer formatter to turn the objects into XML.  </p>
  
  <p>In the returned document I have some extraneous xml namespace references (that weren't there in the ASMX version) for the XML Schema and instance.  I have seen various arguments on the web that these shouldn't be removed which I don't buy into for returning a plain XML document.</p>
  
  <p>What is the simplest way of removing these xmlns references from a returned XML document in WCF?  </p>
  
  <p>The signature looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public ResponseInfo Process(string input) {
  }
  </code></pre>
