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.
It would be nice if you explained why, since it seems a very strange
requirement.
When you do
exclude-result-prefixes="rss1"
you are asking for the namespace that rss1 refers to not to be copied to the
result tree. That's why it isn't being copied. This declaration applies at
the namespace URI level, that is, it affects all namespace bindings for this
namespace URI.
Can anyone propose a better solution to this problem than the
one I have come up with?
Try
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";>
<xsl:namespace name="">http://purl.org/rss/1.0/</xsl:namespace>
<channel xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/";>...</channel>
</rdf:RDF>

Subject: [xsl] Forcing a namespace declaration
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
