Mukul,
In your stylesheet, your <a/> and <b/> elements have
namespace nodes on
them for the "temp" namespace, which they have
inherited from the
xsl:stylesheet element.
Since you have not asked that this namespace be
excluded, the processor can
only assume that they are part of the data it should
output.
Note that neither <a/> nor <b/> is *in* the temp
namespace, so it is
probably not accurate (or at least it's misleading)
to say they are
"associated with it", even though in the result the
namespace declarations
for temp must appear on <a/> and <b/> -- since
there's no other place where
temp can be declared.
Since temp is not actually used, it should be
possible to suppress it by
using the exclude-namespace-prefixes attribute on
xsl:stylesheet. But it
will be suppressed on both <a/> and <b/> -- the fact
that <b/> is generated
by a template named "temp:test" is a red herring.
The behavior isn't
strange at all -- what would be strange would be if
<b/> were placed in a
different namespace from the one given it by the
stylesheet (the null
namespace), just because of the name of the template
that adds it to the
result.
Cheers,
Wendell

I have written this stylesheet -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:temp="http://whatever";
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="test" />
<xsl:call-template name="temp:test" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="test">
<a/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="temp:test">
<b/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
With both Xalan-J 2.6 and Saxon 8.4, I get the
output
-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<a xmlns:temp="http://whatever"/>
<b xmlns:temp="http://whatever"/>
I am curious, why element <a> gets associated with
the
namespace 'temp' ..?
