Oddly enough, there are some stylesheets that experienced members of this
list can debug with a fair degree of certainty without seeing a single line
of your code. There's always the possibility, though, that you have achieved
the same effect by a completely different route, so before sticking my neck
out and telling you what you've done wrong, I would prefer to see what you
have done.

Subject: [xsl] empty namespace declaration being generated
I'm doing an XSL transform where I need to pull some stock
ticker symbols from one xml format and generate a different
file format. In the original source xml file they look
something like:
<ticker>nyse:ibm</ticker>
And I need to transform this into something like:
<security name="nyse:ibm"/>
The problem is that I always end up with:
<security xmlns="" name="nyse:ibm"/>
I don't want the 'xmlns=""' since it causes validation of the
file to fail.
I guessed that Xalan was thinking that "nyse" was a namespace
and adding the xmlns="" to indicate that the name space for
other elements in the element were using the default
namespace. So, I rewrote the xsl transform to strip the
"nyse:", but it still does the same thing:
<security xmlns="" name="ibm" />
I also edited the source xml file and removed the "nyse:"
portion (which I can't do in production) assuming that this
would verify that this was causing the problem. It still
generated the 'xmlns=""' code so it appears my guess is wrong.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any suggestions
on figuring out what is going on?
Scott
