Hi James,

I would think the problem is that what you are thinking of as  
"invalid output" is in fact correct for XSLT. The processors can 
and will add namespace decalrations like xmlns="" if they are 
needed to preserve the namespaces of the elements/attributes you 
are generating and different processors do this in different 
ways.

Perhaps a way forward would be to state what type of transform 
you would like to perform on the XHTML and I am sure somebody 
will be along very quickly to help.

Kev.
