Yes, that "double use" of the namespace was a bit of a hack, see my
comments back to Michael concerning the default namespace.
And, I did review the following FAQ for matching nodes in the default
namespace.
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5536.html#d5145e970
I thought I could use this with the <xsl:namespace-alias ... tag. but
again this does something I don't want and actually generates the
results document with the ddi: prefix on all my added elements
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<codeBook xmlns="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI";>
<ddi:docDscr xmlns:ddi="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI";>
<ddi:citation>
...
</ddi:citation>
</ddi:docDscr>
<stdyDscr>
<citation>
<titlStmt>
<titl>Foo bar</titl>
</titlStmt>
</citation>
</stdyDscr>
</codeBook>
thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
you have two namespace nodes with the URI "http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI";.
The element <docDscr> uses "http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI";. You can't
control which namespace nodes for "http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI";
go to the output (only the correctness of the output is guaranteed).
Look at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5536.html#d5145e334:
"However, Saxon outputs both: it retains any namespace node for a namespace
that is actually in use. There is nothing in the spec to prohibit this, in fact
there is
nothing to stop arbitrary namespace declarations being invented at the serialization
stage."
Regards,
Markus

Betreff: [xsl] exclude result prefixes doesn't stop prefix from showing
up.
I have a stylesheet that copies an xml document with a default namespace
while it also is adding some content to it:
*The stylesheet*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI";
xmlns:ddi="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI";
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
exclude-result-prefixes="ddi"
>
<xsl:template match="@* | *">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="* | @* | text()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ddi:codeBook">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<docDscr>
<citation>
<titlStmt>
<titl>
<xsl:value-of
select="ddi:stdyDscr/ddi:citation/ddi:titlStmt/ddi:titl"/>
</titl>
</titlStmt>
</citation>
</docDscr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
*The xml document*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<codeBook xmlns="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI"; >
<stdyDscr> ....
*the resulting xml document*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<codeBook xmlns="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI";>
<docDscr xmlns:ddi="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI";>
<citation>
...
</citation>
</docDscr>
<stdyDscr>
<citation>
<titlStmt>
<titl>Foo bar</titl>
</titlStmt>
</citation>
</stdyDscr>
</codeBook>
My problem is that I'm getting an extra
xmlns:ddi="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI"; in the docDscr element even
though I'm suppressing it in the excludes. Is there any way I can stop
this from happening?
