> why are you using document() here? why isn't it just > <xsl:copy-of select="/html:html/html:body/*"/> I'm using the standard xml input as a way to pass parameters to the xsl stylesheet. Therefore it's occupied. Also, the name of the actual document to be loaded is dynamic and determined at run-time.

In the original document, these elements existed under a default namespace. My stylesheet also declares this namespace and also uses it as default. Since the namespaces match, I shouldn't need to do any extra steps, right? But since it doesn't work, I assume that the namespaces are actually mutually exclusive instead of matching. I checked my earlier project where I did something similar, and saw that it worked there just fine. The only difference that in there, the xsl stylesheet had no default namespace defined. >> Issue 3: namespace declarations in the xml document leak into the output. > the serializer in XSL processors usually gets namespace decls right, honestly. Yeah, but the xsl:copy-of operation copies over all xmlns: attributes, even for namespaces that are never used in the final output. For example, if I attach an xml stylesheet to the xml data file, xsl:copy-of will introduce the xmlns:xsi namespace declaration to all copied elements (topmost level). And having funky xmlns: attributes all over my webpage makes it look strange :) _______________________________________________ xslt mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xslt
