Namespace extension problem

[Anjali Subburaj]

I am using Xalan 2.3.1 along with Xerces1.4 for transforming an XML document
into another XML document. I am using Java code for some of the processing.
The classes are included using the namespace declaration

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
                version="1.0"
                xmlns:lxslt="http://xml.apache.org/xslt";
                xmlns:redirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
                xmlns:mycompanytools="com.mycompany.tools.migrator"
                extension-element-prefixes="redirect">

One of the templates in the stylesheet adds a new element node to the
resulting document using <xsl:element>. The above namespace declaration gets
inserted into the node.


How can I prevent the namespace from getting appended to the node?

Thanks,
