http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=877 HTML Serialize doesn't work with namespaces [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|INVALID | ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-22 14:46 ------- Yes, I have read the comment about �16.2 of XSLT 1.0: "The html output method should not output an element differently from the xml output method unless the expanded-name of the element has a null namespace URI; an element whose expanded-name has a non-null namespace URI should be output as XML..." However, this is a bug in the specification. It makes it impossible to output valid XHTML as valid HTML -- the possible main application of the HTML output method defined by �16.2. Therefore, �16.2, in this form, contradicts itself. The authors have just forgotten to say that "the XHTML namespace should, of course, be treated just like the null namespace". A minor bug in the spec, but a major bug in the implementation. We need Xalan to fix this, or at least, to provide an output property flag to behave reasonably. The patch is known an affects only two lines. Regards, Falk
