namespace declaration missing in output

Hi all,

my problem is: if I add an attribute with a namespace, no
namespace-declaration
is generated. (If I add an element, everything is ok.)

xslt:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' 
                xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
                xmlns:fiscus="http://www.fiscus.de">

  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"
              indent="yes" /> 

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:attribute name="fiscus:objectID"">
        <xsl:number level="any" count="*"/>
      </xsl:attribute>            
      <xsl:apply-templates          
select="@*|node()|comment()|processing-instruction()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet> 

input:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<one>
  <two>
    <three>drei</three>
  </two>
</one>

output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<one fiscus:objectID="1">
  <two fiscus:objectID="2">
    <three fiscus:objectID="3">drei</three>
  </two>
</one>

desired output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<one fiscus:objectID="1" xmlns:fiscus="http://www.fiscus.de">
  <two fiscus:objectID="2">
    <three fiscus:objectID="3">drei</three>
  </two>
</one>

What can I do?
(using xalan_1_1_D01 or xalan-j_2_0_D07 on NT4SP6 german version)

Thanks, Philip
