I think that the namespace declarations where not redundant at all. It
was probably HTMLish elements in a null namespace (within the
stylesheet) which resulted in xmlns declarations to nodes copied from
the source tree. That's why I suggested using the XHTML namespace as the
default ns in the stylesheet.
Cheers,

If the namespace declarations really are redundant (redeclaring a namespace
that is already declared on an outer element) then the way to get rid of
them is to use a better XSLT processor.

# Hiy there again,
#
# Ive qualified my xhtml elements but still no difference.
#
# So to recap, in my stylesheet, xhtml elements are in
# <xsl: stylesheet xmlns:xhtml=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
# And in the imported document, they are in the default namespace:
# <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
#
#
# The output looks as follows with the imported elements enclosed in the
# div class="content":
#
#
# <html xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
# <head>
# <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
# charset=UTF-8">
#
# ....
# <div class="content" id="content">
# <h1 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>The Census</h1>
# <h2 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>Collecting the data
# </h2>
# <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>Every 10 years, all
# people and households in the
#
#
# But I don't want the xmlns: declarations on the imported elements cos
# they are already in that namespace. Is there anyway I can get around
# this??
#
# Thanks.
