### What happened?

Hello guys,

I have a problem with a transform XML Join, it removes namespace if named xmlns.

I am migrating from Hop version 2.8 to 2.12, and found this bug.

In first picture, i'm showing run result in hop 2.8, work perfect!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the XML Join transform behavior described in the issue on Hop 2.12, then compare the same input and output with Hop 2.8. Trace the XML Join transform's namespace handling and confirm that a namespace named xmlns is preserved as it was in 2.8; done means the regression is covered by a test or reproducible verification.
