Hi all,
A question about the XSLT recommendation..
If you add the following to your XSLT stylesheet:
<test xmlns="http://test">
<xsl:attribute name="test"/>
</test>
What namespace should that attribute receive? Should the result be:
<test xmlns="http://test" test=""/>
..or (something like)
<test xmlns="http://test" _:test="" xmlns:_="" />
[ Please read on first.. ;-) ]
The XSLT 2.0 recommendation states:
"If the namespace attribute is not present, then the lexical Qname
is expanded into an expanded-QName using the namespace declarations
in effect for the xsl:attribute element, not including any default
namespace declaration."
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#creating-attributes, 9th paragraph or so)
The xsl:attribute has no namespace attribute, and the lexical Qname contains no
prefix. But since de default namespace declaration should not be included in
resolving/expanding the Qname, I would expect the latter result should appear.
However, the latter is not valid according to:
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#ns-decl, 2nd paragraph or so)
..nor does any of the common implementations give that result, the all return
the first..
Am I misinterpreting the XSLT recommendation?
Kind regards,
Geert
