Re: [xsl] Removing unwanted namespaces

2012-01-12 10:10:55
Hi again,

Yes, this will work, but I think Ram also said he wants all namespace declarations at the top. Since this logic effectively strips all namespace nodes except where they are needed, the declarations will only appear at the point (or points, within the tree hierarchy) of first use.

(I also don't like using "*[local-name()='x']" tests but I'm unwilling to say they're bad, exactly. It's just that there are usually more graceful ways. :-)

Cheers,
Wendell

If required, you need to add code to remove unwanted namespace
nodes from attributes in a similar way.
