Hi John.
Sorry - I didn't see your earlier message that included the namespace
declaration.
Yes - you do get namespaces unless you exclude them.
I haven't done much with mixed documents which include different
namespaces - but maybe if you declare the same namespace in your
template and add it to the exclude-result-prefixes option it will get
excluded.
I'm not sure of the technical details of what triggers / suppresses
namespace propagation so can't be more help on that.

Using XSLT - the <xsl:copy/> and <xsl:copy-of/> elements should give you
what you need.
So - using XSLT;
Assuming you are processing DocumentB.xml as current document - the
following will construct you're combined <theater> element.
<xsl:template match='theater'>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select='@*'/> <!-- this copies any attributes on
<theater> - although you currently have none -->
<xsl:copy-of select='instrument'/>
<instruments>
<xsl:copy-of
select='document("Breadcrumb.xml")/ensemble/theater/instrument'/>
</instruments>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Thanks Michael,
I don't see anything that begin with XML or at least it shouldn't.
And I just want to copy/merge the document that is below (breadcrumb.xml)
To another xml document so that it's a DIRECT copy. Meaning I want it to
end
up looking the same.
So for example.
If Breadcrumb.xml looks like this
<ensemble>
<theater>
<instrument type="BreadCrumb" id="PageBreadCrumb">
<!-- This App is the bread crumb of the page. -->
<Breadcrumb>
<Topic title="Home" link="/">
<Topic title="Services"
link="/services">
<Topic title="Content
Management" link="/services/content-management"/>
</Topic>
</Topic>
</Breadcrumb>
</instrument>
</theater>
</ensemble>
And DocumentB.xml looks like this
<ensemble>
<theater>
<performance link="/Some/Link" topic="/services"
lang="en-US" title="My Music" ver="1.0" lastmod="6/30/2004T12:00:00:00">
<!-- Page Info -->
<FriendlyName>Friendlyname here</FriendlyName>
<Activate date="2000-01-15T12:00:00"/>
<Expires date="2005-01-15T12:00:00"/>
<Creator>John Hamman</Creator>
<MetaData name="copyright" value="Copyright 2004"/>
<Description><![CDATA[Blah Blah
Blah]]></Description>
<Keywords>Blah Blah Blah</Keywords>
<Custom name="CssName"><![CDATA[IA]]></Custom>
</performance>
</theater>
</ensemble>
Then the OUTPUT will be a Merged XML file that looks like this.
<ensemble>
<theater>
<performance link="/Some/Link" topic="/services"
lang="en-US" title="My Music" ver="1.0" lastmod="6/30/2004T12:00:00:00">
<!-- Page Info -->
<FriendlyName>Friendlyname here</FriendlyName>
<Activate date="2000-01-15T12:00:00"/>
<Expires date="2005-01-15T12:00:00"/>

<Description><![CDATA[Blah Blah

<Keywords>Blah Blah Blah</Keywords>
<Custom name="CssName"><![CDATA[IA]]></Custom>
</performance>
<instruments>
<instrument type="BreadCrumb" id="PageBreadCrumb">
<!-- This App is the bread crumb of the page. -->
<Breadcrumb>
<Topic title="Home" link="/">
<Topic title="Services"
link="/services">
<Topic title="Content

</Topic>
</Topic>
</Breadcrumb>

</theater>
</ensemble>

Without knowing what the other document looks like, or what you want the
result to look like, it's very hard to advise you.
2 observations on your XML:
(a) Names beginning "xml" (in any case combination), like XmlSite, should
not be used because they are reserved for future standardisation
(b) The value of xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation is supposed to be a URI. The
value "H:\Web
Clients\WWWRoot\Ithinkdesigns\XmlSite\_data\Performance.xsd" is not a URI,
it is a Windows filename. This essentially locks you into Microsoft
products, which don't enforce the standard in this area.

Hi all, Maybe someone can help with this.
I have 2 docs I want to merge and one of them is this:
Breadcrumb.xml
<ensemble xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="H:\Web
Clients\WWWRoot\Ithinkdesigns\XmlSite\_data\Performance.xsd">
<theater>
<instrument type="BreadCrumb"
id="PageBreadCrumb">
<!-- This App is the
bread crumb of the
page. -->
<Breadcrumb>
<Topic title="Home"
link="/">
<Topic
title="Services" link="/services">
<Topic title="Content Management"
link="/services/content-management"/>
</Topic>
</Topic>
</Breadcrumb>
</instrument>
</theater>
</ensemble>
And I want to make sure that everything from <theater> on is
copied exactly
like this one.
Does anyone know how I can do this. I am totally lost since
its recursive
