Think of <item>...</item> as an instruction to create an element with a
particular name. The name has two parts: a namespace URI and a local part.
Both of these are copied from the name of the element in the stylesheet. So
your new element has namespace URI = "" and local name = "item".
But its parent in the result tree has a different namespace URI. So to
ensure that the item element is in the right namespace (the "null"
namespace, in this case) the serializer has to generate a namespace
declaration.
You probably wanted <item> to be in the same namespace as its parent in the
result tree. To get it in that namespace, you have to put it there, which
you do by means of namespace declarations in the stylesheet.

Subject: [xsl] Unwanted xmlns attribute appearing
Hello,
I am generating RSS feeds from an HTML file. With Perl,
until I finally realized XSLT would be a much better
solution. I decided to create a new XML file, and to have
seceral XSL stylesheets, one to produce the HTML file and the
others to produce the RSS files. First question: was that stupid?
The XML file is currently looking like this:
http://edhel.gimp.org/devnews.xml
I managed to write the XSL to produce HTML:
http://edhel.gimp.org/devnews.xsl produces
http://edhel.gimp.org/devnews.html
Now I'm struggling with the RSS1.0 feed.
http://edhel.gimp.org/devnews-rss1.xsl produces
http://edhel.gimp.org/devnews-rss1.xml
The <item> markup gets a xmlns="" attribute, and I don't
know where that comes from.
<xsl:template match="week">
<item>
<xsl:attribute
name="rdf:about">http://edhel.gimp.org/devnews.html#<xsl:value
-of
select="normalize-space(parent::year/text())"/>-<xsl:value-of
select="normalize-space(text())"/></xsl:attribute>
[...]
</item>
</xsl:template>
produces:
<item xmlns="" rdf:about="http://edhel.gimp.org/devnews.html#2006-17";>
So, second question: what did I miss there?
Thanks,
Karine
