You mean "I don't see why the inner... *cannot be* or *is not* removed" It can. Having it there, or not, does not change the semantics of the XML. It's just a side-effect of whatever implementation you are using. If you really care about this -- for example, doing XML Digital Signatures -- then you need something like xml c14n. Otherwise I would not worry about it. /r$ -- STSM, DataPower Chief Programmer WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/datapower/ "Anishek Agarwal" <anishek@g...> 08/07/2008 08:02 AM To xml-dev@l... cc Subject Re: XML Transformation I still did not get the reply for this.

In our case of the xml above it is the same as its the default namespace. So i dont see why the inner scope namespace declaration element be removed and use the parent namespace.

That's good to know... I guess it all comes down the fact that the prefix isn't expanded to the URI.... which is the root cause of the problem of XPath requiring the prefixes to be mapped elsewhere. I guess there is an argument for dropping the URI altogether, and just using the prefix. Some things would get harder, but many more would get a lot easier. -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/
