Hi Robert,
1) The epub stylesheet generates XHTML, which is in the XHTML namespace:
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
You will need to add that namespace attribute to the root element of your
included HTML. If you don't then the processor marks it as being outside of
the XHTML namespace.
2) This is a bug in the chunker.xsl stylesheet file, where it fails to omit
the namespace declaration for "saxon" namespace. I'll fix that.

Subject: [docbook-apps] why do user templates generate empty xmlns
attributes?
When on the advice of Bob Stayton's last email
(http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200910/msg00021.html)
I created a custom template for my customization layer , I notice
something strange.
</head><body><p xmlns=""><b>Hi Mom!</b></p><div class="chapter"
title="Would Kafka have kept a weblog?"><div
class="titlepage"><div><div><h1 class="title"><a
xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon"; id="nt001"/>Would Kafka have kept a
weblog? </h1></div></div></div>
Two questions:
1)why does <p xmlns=""> show an empty value. (That actually makes the
code invalid and the resulting .epub invalid as well).
2)what is going on here: <a xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon";> Why
is this namespace value there in the first place?
I notice that these kinds of weirdness/errors pop up all the time
whenever I try to put an xsl:template statement in my customization
layer file. I could live with the second error, but not the first.
Any idea what is causing this to happen?
My customization layer is pretty vanilla. It's for epub/chunked html
output.
