exclude-result-prefixes only affects the namespaces copied from the
stylesheet by a literal result element, it doesn't affect copying of
namespaces from source documents. In any case, the codeBook element is
in the namespace http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/DDI, so the namespace must
be declared. exclude-result-prefixes only suppresses namespaces that are
not used in any element or attribute name, and this namespace is used.
What you want to do is not to suppress the namespace declaration, it is
to change the name of the element, which you can do by using
<xsl:element name="{local-name(.)}"> in place of xsl:copy.

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?
