RE: Copy-of & New Namespace prefix

xsl:copy-of will only create an exact copy. To create a modified copy, you
need to recursively walk the document modifying each element as necessary.
Something like this:

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:element name="{local-name()}" namespace="(new namespace)">
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Note also that you should be thinking in first of the expanded-name of the
elements (that is, their namespace URI and local-name) - the prefixes and
namespace declarations will follow.

Subject: [xsl] Copy-of & New Namespace prefix

Hello,

I want to create a transform that takes an (X)HTML as an 
input and gives
back the unchanged but for the addition of a namespace prefix to each
element.  Input file might be as follows:

<html>
<body>
<p><b>Generalized foo here</b></p>
<ol>
<li>Foo 1</li>
<li>Foo 2</li>
</ol>
<p>Final foo</p>
</body>
</html>

Output might be as follows:

<foo:html>
<foo:body>
<foo:p><foo:b>Generalized foo here</foo:b></foo:p>
<foo:ol>
<foo:li>Foo 1</foo:li>
<foo:li>Foo 2</foo:li>
</foo:ol>
<foo:p>Final foo</foo:p>
</foo:body>
</foo:html>

My instinct say to use <xsl:copy-of> but I'm confused about 
how I might
add the prefix.  Thanks very much.
