exclude-result-prefixes only works for namespace declarations that are not required in the serialized result tree. Also, it does not affect namespaces copied from the source tree using xsl:copy. > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <root xmlns="http://www.testxsl.org/1999/ournamespace"; > xmlns:conf="http://www.testxsl.org/2005/conformance"; version="2.0"> > <catch> > <prompt>fail</prompt><exit/> > </catch> > </root> Given your input and document and stylesheet, this is the correct result. > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <root version="2.0"> > <catch> > <prompt>fail</prompt><exit/> > </catch> > </root> If you don't want elements in the namespace " http://www.testxsl.org/1999/ournamespace";, you can't use xsl:copy. Also, the literal result elements in your stylesheet are in that namespace as well, since you have a default namespace in your stylesheet. For general XSLT questions, I always recommend the Mulberry Technologies XSL list, along with the XSL FAQ: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/ http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/xslfaq.html Dave
