Dominic EdmondsSubject: How do I copy and create new elements with different namespaces and the identity template

Hi folks,

I would like to insert new element 'posn' as a child of the 'field' elements into a tree variable 'testvar' which is in the 'myns' namespace.

Here is my XSL:

[code]
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:myns="example.com"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:variable name="testvar" xmlns="myns">
<fields attr1="attr text 1" attr2="attr text 2">
<field attr3="attr text 3">
<name>Field Name 1</name>
<desc>Field Desc 1</desc>
</field>
<field>
<name>Field Name 2</name>
<desc>Field Desc 2</desc>
</field>
<field>
<name>Field Name 3</name>
<desc>Field Desc 3</desc>
</field>
</fields>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="newtestvar">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$testvar" mode="test"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="field" mode="test">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" mode="test"/>
<xsl:element name="posn">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('Field posn ', position(), ' ?= ')"/>
<xsl:number/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@* | node()" mode="test">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" mode="test"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:sequence select="$newtestvar" />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
[code]

This gives me:

[code]
<fields xmlns="myns" attr1="attr text 1" attr2="attr text 2">
<field attr3="attr text 3">
<name>Field Name 1</name>
<desc>Field Desc 1</desc>
</field>
<field>
<name>Field Name 2</name>
<desc>Field Desc 2</desc>
</field>
<field>
<name>Field Name 3</name>
<desc>Field Desc 3</desc>
</field>
</fields>
[code]

whereas I would like to see the 'posn' element thusly:

[code]
<fields xmlns="myns" attr1="attr text 1" attr2="attr text 2">
<field attr3="attr text 3">
<name>Field Name 1</name>
<desc>Field Desc 1</desc>
<desc>Field Posn 1</desc>
</field>
<field>
<name>Field Name 2</name>
<desc>Field Desc 2</desc>
<desc>Field Posn 2</desc>
</field>
<field>
<name>Field Name 3</name>
<desc>Field Desc 3</desc>
<desc>Field Posn 3</desc>
</field>
</fields>
[code]

I need to keep the 'myns' namespace and I am sure that the answer lies in something to do with namespaces and the identity template.
