[I said]
Both Xalan and Saxon are correct. True, the Xalan output
declares an
extra namespace, but the FitnessCenter element does not
belong to that
namespace. So the presence of the declaration has no effect on the
interpretation of the document.
Not strictly true. Depending on how the FitnessCenter element was
created (literal result element vs xsl:element vs xsl:copy) the XSLT
processor is obliged to copy over different sets of namespace
bindings;
I forgot to say that I assumed that Roger had used a literal result
element in the stylesheet (since he told us nothing about the source
document). I apologise for not saying that clearly.
In either case, though, the two documents are equivalent since the
FitnessCenter element is in no namespace either way.
