Sorry, I misunderstood the request. Not just into the XHTML
namespace but empty prefix as well. This works for me on
Sablotron and Saxon but see the note below on your question.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="namespace-uri()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Anyway, what I'm not sure of is whether the XSLT spec
guarantees that
<xsl:element name="NCName"> <!-- No prefix in NCName
-->
<!-- Content of NCName . . . -->
</xsl:element>
will result in an element with the unprefixed name
NCName in the default namespace, or if it's just that
XSLT processors happen to serialize that as "<NCName>
. . . </NCName>".
In short, I don't think there are any guarantees about this
particularly across different processors, although a general
goal of some processor writers will have been to make the output
as 'nice' as possible, i.e. minimise namespace declarations and
try and preserve prefixes.
