The crux of my question is this:
Is there a way to get namespace prefix declarations into the
root element of the result tree through the XSLT API?
With XSLT 2.0, use the xsl:namespace instruction
I'm stuck with XSLT 1.0
With XSLT 1.0, you can use xsl:copy-of to copy a namespace node from
the
source document to the result document.
But that only works if the namespace exists in the source document.
In my situation I am using information found in the source document to
create a new namespace.
The intention is that every Attribute element gets recast to a new
element in a namespace that is unique to the base.document.
So these:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Dataset xmlns="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/DAP/3.2#"; base="http://base.document
">
<Attribute name="Conventions" >CF-1.0</Attribute>
<Attribute name="logname" >olson</Attribute>
<Attribute name="host" >bb0001en</Attribute>
</Dataset>
Currently become this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<output xmlns:dap="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/DAP/3.2#";>
<ns0:Conventions xmlns:ns0="http://base.document/att#";>CF-1.0</
ns0:Conventions>
<ns1:logname xmlns:ns1="http://base.document/att#";>olson</ns1:logname>
<ns2:host xmlns:ns2="http://base.document/att#";>bb0001en</ns2:host>
</output>
Which is correct, but what I am trying to get is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<output xmlns:dap="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/DAP/3.2#"; xmlns:att="http://base.document/att#
">
<att:Conventions>CF-1.0</ttt:Conventions>
<att:logname>olson</att:logname>
<att:host>bb0001en</att:host>
</output>
