Hi Martin
Thank you for pointing out the distinction between an attribute and a
namespace node, I wasn't aware of that.
If I could use XSL 2.0 it would be easy, but unfortunately this stylesheet
is run as part of FrameMaker's XML document load process, and it is thus
limited to XSL 1.0 (Xalan, there is no alternative). Is there a version of
your solution that would work in XSL 1?
Cheers
Trevor

My root elements used to have local attributes, but now, thanks to the
miracle of XSD, they have two additional attributes, e.g.
<document
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
In the XSLT/XPath data model xmlns:xsi is not modelled as an attribute
but rather as a namespace node.
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../xml_utils/hcdocs.xsd"
index="N"
mark="Y">
The stylesheet generating the output XML creates the DTD declaration with
<xsl:output
doctype-system="../../xml_utils/fmdocs.dtd"
method="xml"
encoding="UTF-8" />
and has some null templates suppressing attributes which are not needed in
the output documents, eg:
<xsl:template match="@indx|@mark|@formatted" />
<xsl:template match="@rowspan[string(.)='1']" />
<xsl:template match="@colspan[string(.)='1']" />
<xsl:template match="@xml:space" />
Using the last of these as a "template" :-) I added two new lines to the
stylesheet doing this job for the schema version of the input:
<xsl:template match="@xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation" />
<xsl:template match="@xmlns:xsi" />
These generate an error, because I haven't declared the namespaces, so I
added
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xmlns=""
to the <xsl:stylesheet> declaration, thinking this would drop both
attributes. I wasn't sure what to put in the xmlns:xmlns one, as xmlns
seems
to be a bit of a special case. However whatever I try isn't helping: the
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocattion attribute is being dropped, but the
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; attribute is not.
You will need to avoid copying namespace nodes you don't want to be
copied. In XSLT 2.0 you can use e.g.
<xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no">
respectively
<xsl:copy-of select="foo" copy-namespaces="no"/>
You will need to show us more of your stylesheet for suggestions on
where exactly you need that.
