You're creating an <html> element in the XHTML namespace, and then you
create an <h4> element in no namespace: to prevent the h4 element going into
the XHTML namespace, Saxon has to generate the xmlns="" declaration. If you
want the h4 element to be in the XHTML namespace, which I guess you do, then
say so by coding it as <h4 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>.
(A literal result element is copied literally from the stylesheet to the
result document. There's no magic process whereby the namespace of the
element is changed to match that of its new parent.)

Subject: [xsl] empty namespace added on elements E.g. <h4 xmlns="">
Hi all,
The snippet below is an extract of a stylesheet which
transforms a DITA
map and it's topics into a xhtml page. I stripped off most of the
stylesheet and left in the template responsible for
transforming a p-topic title into a xhtml <h4>.
However... I tried to validate the generated xhtml page and
somehow the snippet below gets generated....
<h4 xmlns="">4. Marking</h4>
Can someone explain what could be causing Saxon to add an
empty namespace attribute to the <h4> tag?? I'm using Saxon 8.7.
Kind regards,
Robby Pelssers
