That's because you are asking it to be there.

Here are
my snippets:

XSL file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">

    <xsl:template name="testTemplate">

        <test>This is a test</test>

The element above is in no namespace.

    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="/">


        <request
            xmlns="somexmlns"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.amfam.com/xsd/message/rateprocessingservi
ce/v3/somexsd.xsd">


The default namespace at this point is "somexmlns".

            <xsl:call-template name="testTemplate"/>

When you are adding your <test> in no namespace, the xmlns="" is required to indicate the new default namespace (that is, no namespace) that you specified in your named template.

If you want <test> to be in "somexmlns" namespace, then do so in your named template:

  <test xmlns="somexmlns">This is a test</test>

- <request
xmlns="http://www.amfam.com/xsd/message/rateprocessingservice/v3";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.amfam.com/xsd/message/rateprocessingservi
ce/v3/RPSRequest.xsd">
  <test xmlns="">This is a test</test>
  </request>

I would like to remove the xmlns attribute from the <test> element.

Then you want <test> to be in "somexmlns".

Would really appreciate some help on this.

I hope the above helps.
