Create in F# XDocument with XDeclaration and namespace

In this example I will create the following XML in F#:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<w:document xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main">
  <w:body>
    <w:p>
      <w:r>
        <w:t>This is a test</w:t>
      </w:r>
    </w:p>
  </w:body>
</w:document>
 
Transferring C#-code is not straightforward because the constructor of XDocument does not accept the following code: new  XDocument(new XDeclaration("1.0""utf-8""true"), new XElement("document"))

//First create some helpers:

let xnameNs str ns = XName.Get(str, ns)
let xname str =
    xnameNs str "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"
 
let ns = XNamespace.Get("http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main")
 
let dec = new XDeclaration("1.0""utf-8""true")
 
let el =
    new XElement(xname "document",
        new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "w", ns),
            new XElement(xname "body",
                new XElement(xname "p",
                    new XElement(xname "r",
                        new XElement(xname "t""This is a test")
                        ))))
 
//Add them together:
 
let document = 
    let doc =new XDocument(dec)
    doc.AddFirst(el)
    doc

//And test:
 
document.Save(@"D:\Tmp\test1.xml")
