from_xml().to_xml() does not preserve some of the type information #36
Description
To recreate:
print maec.parse_xml_instance(...some file...)["api"].to_xml()
If the file contains actions, for instance, and the xsi:type of the AssociationType is
maecVocabs:ActionObjectAssociationTypeVocab-1.0
in the file, it'll be
cyboxVocabs:ActionObjectAssociationTypeVocab-1.0
in the output XML. As far as I can tell from reading the schemas (and heaven knows I'm not very good at that), this shouldn't even validate, because the MAEC type isn't a subtype of the Cybox type.

I couldn't seem to recreate this issue - can you state which particular file you used as input? I tried:
print maec.parse_xml_instance("package_action_equivalency_example.xml")["api"].to_xml()and all of the xsi:types seemed to be preserved correctly, e.g.:
<cybox:Association_Type xsi:type="maecVocabs:ActionObjectAssociationTypeVocab-1.0">o utput</cybox:Association_Type>slbayer commentedon Jun 24, 2014
Fails for me on that file. Maybe there's something going on in cybox and my cybox isn't updated. Stay tuned.

I'm now up-to-date in cybox and maec, and I'm still seeing the error.

Eh. It's something I'm doing. Not sure what yet, but it's my mistake. Sorry about that. Closing this.
