I think the easiest way is to simply remove the:
extension-element-prefixes="exsl"
- That has always worked just fine for me (I don't think Xalan actually
*uses* it for anything but to exclude the prefix from the output)
Otherwise you can try the following which is kind of a hack:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/TransformAlias";
xmlns:exsl2="http://exslt.org/common";
xmlns:exsl="dummy"
extension-element-prefixes="exsl2">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="axsl" result-prefix="xsl"/>
<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="exsl" result-prefix="exsl2"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="disappearance-act" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="disappearance-act">
<axsl:stylesheet
xmlns:exsl="dummy"
extension-element-prefixes="exsl" >
<xsl:attribute name="version">1.0</xsl:attribute>
</axsl:stylesheet>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This produces the output:
<axsl:stylesheet xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common";
extension-element-prefixes="exsl"
version="1.0"/>

Hi! I am having difficulties running this meta-stylesheet:

It outputs this:
<axsl:stylesheet xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0" extension-element-prefixes="exsl"/>
As you can see the exsl namespace in the generated stylesheet is
simply gobbled up. The problem is easily solved by removing that
namespace from the root stylesheet (or to put it in another way, move
all EXSLT stuff to an external stylesheet and then include it). But I
would like to know what causes the namespace to disappear. Afterall
one should be able to use EXSLT in both the meta-stylesheet and in the
generated stylesheet without having to use two separate stylesheets,
right?
Using xalan-j_2_7_1 (xalan.jar) with java 1.6. Saxon 6.5.5 also
suffers from this problem so it might be a XSLT 1.0 limitation I'm not
aware of. Searching this mailing list did not help me find an answer.
Also this is my first time using _any_ mailing list, so please be
gentle if I'm doing it wrong.
Thanks, Jernej
