You can ask Saxon to ignore attributes that were supplied as defaults from
the DTD or schema using the option
-expand:off
In the case of DTDs it's dependent on the XML parser supplying the necessary
information.

Subject: [xsl] XHTML and xml:space
Hi,
When transforming xhtml documents, I found out that sometimes
an xml:space="preserve" attribute is added.
If the xhtml document has doctype XHTML Basic 1.0, the
attribute is added. If the doctype is XHTML 1.0 Strict, it isn't.
Why this difference, and how do I prevent it? (without
changing the doctype in the original document) I don't want
these attributes, because they keep xsl:strip-space from working.
I'm using Saxon B 9.1.0.1N, with xslt 2.
Thanks, Fredrik
Example input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic10.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<div>
<span id="test">Test</span>
<span id="test2">Test2</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Example XSLT (simple identity transform):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:output method="xhtml" encoding="UTF-8"/> <xsl:template
match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Current result (wanted result is same, but without xml:space
attributes):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
version="-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN">
<head profile="">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8"
/>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body xml:space="preserve">
<div xml:space="preserve">
<span id="test" xml:space="preserve">Test</span>
<span id="test2" xml:space="preserve">Test2</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
