Hi all,
The following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<n xmlns="http://www.test.com"; xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/>
uses the following XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/";
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
xmlns:rss1="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"; exclude-result-prefixes="rss1"
xpath-default-namespace="http://www.test.com";>
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="n" >
<rdf:RDF xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/";
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; >
<channel>fffffff</channel>
</rdf:RDF>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
to generate the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";>
<channel xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/";>fffffff</channel>
</rdf:RDF>
I'm using XSLT 2 in Saxon 8.
The problem is I need the http://purl.org/rss/1.0/ xmlns declaration to
appear on the root element instead of on the channel element.
I believe it is appearing where it is due to the
xmlns:rss1="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"; declaration, as when I remove this it
works in the way I want it to. The xmlns:rss1="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/";
declaration is needed on the root element as elsewhere in the stylesheet I
need to process an external document with elements belonging to this
namespace.
The only way I can see to fix this is to have xpath-default-namespace
attributes scattered at appropriate points in the stylesheet. As the
templates do not separate easily into sections determined by which XML
document they are working on i believe this will lead to code that is
difficult to read.
Can anyone explain why http://purl.org/rss/1.0/ is being declared on channel
instead of the root element?
Can anyone propose a better solution to this problem than the one I have
come up with?
Thanks
Tom
