I have an issue with the XLST library and <copy-of> I have distilled my problem into a simple test.
Using the following xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <MD_Metadata xmlns="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd";> <language/> <characterSet/> </MD_Metadata> and this stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:gmd=" http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd"; > <xsl:template match="/gmd:MD_Metadata"> <xsl:copy-of select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> If I run xsltproc I get the result: <?xml version="1.0"?> <language xmlns="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd"/> <characterSet xmlns="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd"/> Whereas I was expecting the MD_Metadata root element to also be included. There is more information on this SO question ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19915933/copy-of-xlst-tag-not-being-applied-consistently-in-different-processors) (and interestingly I don't get the <characterSet> tag in the first case when using lxml in python). I assume this isn't a bug, but can anyone explain to someone who is quite green at this what is going on here? Thanks Stephen
