You have created an <html> element in the "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
namespace, and within it you have created a <div> element that is in no
namespace. The xmlns="" is generated in order to ensure that the <div>
element is in no namespace, which is what you requested. If you want the
<div> element to be in the XHTML namespace, you need to ensure that the
<div> element in the stylesheet has an xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
declaration in scope.
Responding to the question in your subject line, exclude-result-prefixes is
provided to help you get rid of namespaces declarations that are not used in
the result document. It will never get rid of namespace declarations that
are generated to put elements in the right namespace.

Subject: [xsl] Why doesn't exclude-result-prefixes rid me of xmlns=""?
Hi,
After searching Google, I figured out how to
exclude-result-prefixes,
but I'm still getting an unwanted 'xmlns=""' in one of my outputted
divs. Can someone tell me why?
Following on, I've included excerpts from the source, the
script, and
the result. At the bottom, I pasted in the browser display from the
result of running the processor-version.xsl on itself, plus links to
the relevant full texts, should they be necessary.
