I don't think there's anything specific to XSLT 2.0 here.
If the outermost element in your result tree has:
prefix="", localname="xxx", uri="some.uri"
and you then generate a child element that has:
prefix="", localname="yyy", uri=""
then the serializer has to insert an xmlns="" undeclaration to ensure
that the yyy element is in the null namespace.
If you think the xmlns="" undeclaration is wrong, then you've probably
been putting your elements in the wrong namespace. Perhaps you wanted
"yyy" to have namespace URI "some.uri"? In that case, you need to
correct the code that generates it.
When you output an element, the namespace it goes in is determined by
the instructions in the stylesheet that produce this element. It doesn't
automatically (or even by default) go in the same namespace as its
parent in the result tree.

Subject: [xsl] xslt2 - namespace attributes for output from
called templates
Hello All,
I'm using Saxon 7 and xsl 2 to create web pages, and I
noticed that some of
the output was decorated with 'xmlns=""' and some of it wasn't.
It turns out that if I specify a namespace to the top level
tag of my output,
eg
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
then output that comes from functions, called templates,
copies of variables
etc.,
will contain an empty namespace attribute.
Of course, my mistake was to specify the namespace in the
first place. With
<xsl:output method="html">, it will be inserted for me, and no empty
namespace attributes will appear.
But if I wasn't making html, then I could have this problem.
Would every
function, called template etc. have to re-specify the
namespace attribute?
Thanks for your help,
Tom SW
