Problem adding namespaces

[Andreas Hartmann]

Hi Xalan users,

I have a problem adding namespaces to elements with Xalan 2.5.1.
When I use the following stylesheet, text nodes are not
copied to the result tree:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
  >

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:element name="{local-name()}"
      namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

If I omit the namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
attribute, the document is copied correctly.

Am I doing something wrong, or might this be a bug?

Thanks in advance!
Andreas
