AW: exclude result prefixes doesn't stop prefix from showing up.

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?
