Why at all the namespace, http://www.w3.org/xml/1998/namespace is part
of node-set namespace::*. I am not sure, but does it relate to the XML
Namespaces spec? (you hinted this in your previous answers)
How do you expect otherwise to be able to use an "xml:lang" attribute
and a few more in this namespace without explicitly specifying the xml
namespace?
So, the answer to your question is that this is a convenient default.
From the XML Namespace errata:
"Namespace constraint: Reserved Prefixes and Namespace Names
The prefix xml is by definition bound to the namespace name
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace. It may, but need not, be
declared, and must not be bound to any other namespace name. No other
prefix may be bound to this namespace name."
Note also that the namespace-uri used in your code is different from
the namespace-uri for the xml namespace -- as others advised this
answers your first question.
Could you send me the code, which causes MSXML4 to produce non-"xml"
bindings to the xml namespace uri?

Thanks Mike for the clarification. I have 2 more questions..
1st question:
You earlier gave suggestion, that comparing the namespace-uri()
instead of name() will make the stylesheet (George's code) compatible
with both Saxon and MSXML. (for supressing the namespace
xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/xml/1998/namespace"; in output)
The relevant portion of code is (please see the code that George posted):
<xsl:for-each select="current()//namespace::*[not(.=$currentNamepsace)
and not(name()='xml')]">
<xsl:attribute name="{translate(name(), $small,
$caps)}:dummy{position()}" namespace="{translate(., $small,
$caps)}"></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
I changed this to:
<xsl:for-each
select="current()//namespace::*[not(starts-with(.,'http://www.w3.org'))]">
<xsl:attribute name="{translate(name(), $small,
$caps)}:dummy{position()}" namespace="{translate(., $small,
$caps)}"></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
This works..
But following doesn't work (the namespace
http://www.w3.org/xml/1998/namespace is getting generated in the
output):
<xsl:for-each select="current()//namespace::*[not(. =
'http://www.w3.org/xml/1998/namespace')]">
(Please note the namespace uri comparison I am doing). What is wrong
with the string comparison here?
I am using Saxon 8.7.3.
2nd question:
Why at all the namespace, http://www.w3.org/xml/1998/namespace is part
of node-set namespace::*. I am not sure, but does it relate to the XML
Namespaces spec? (you hinted this in your previous answers)
