The processor is unlikely to generate <p:a/> unless there is a namespace
declaration for p in scope. I suspect you are trying to add not a namespace
node, but a namespace declaration. It there a namespace declaration already
present on an outer node? The serializer will always eliminate redundant
namespace declarations.
Perhaps you are even trying to change the namespace of the p:a element. When
you create an element, you define its expanded name (namespace URI and local
name), and creating namespace nodes will never change the name of the
element.

Hi ken,
thank you for replying.
I did try <xsl:copy-of
select="xalan:nodeset($dummy)/*/namespace::p"/>.
But the situation remains the same. No namespace created. I
have tried both
with xalan 2.6.0 and saxon 8. The result is the same: only
<p:a/>, without
namespace declaration.
any other tips are welcome.
Regards,
Majirus

Should anyone knows how to add a namespace to a node?
i have tried the following approach:
first, i create a dummy attribute;
<xsl:variable name="dummy">
<xsl:element name="p:a" namespace="http://majirus.org"/>
</xsl:variable>
From an xml node <a>, i write the following instruction:
<a><xsl:copy-of
select="xalan:nodeset($dummy)/*/namespace::*[2]"/><a>
but, as a result tree i have got only the <a/> element
without namespace,
Perhaps because you are addressing the namespace by its
position, which is
processor dependent ... you cannot rely on the order of
namespace nodes.
This is something my students find hard to understand:
there *is* an
order, just that the stylesheet writer cannot rely on what
the order is.
Did you try:
<xsl:copy-of select="xalan:nodeset($dummy)/*/namespace::p"/>
I think it would be cleaner if you had in your stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:p="http://majirus.org";>
then you could do:
<xsl:copy-of select="document('')/*/namespace::p"/>
I hope this helps.
