Re: name space troubles

Actually the answer is yes, the system has some freedom on where to put
namespace declarations but it can only move them up the result tree, it
can't move them down.

So to get the desired effect all you need to do is make sure the
xsl:stylesheet node in the resulting tree has a namespace node for
the cbamessage namespace.

the easiest way to do that is not to use xsl:element to generate
xsl:stylesheet (as that doesn't copy namespace nodes) but instead use a
literal result element (using the namespace alias feature to generate
elements in the xsl namespace) alternatively, using xsl:element you just
need to copy suitable namespace nodes into the result as in 

<xsl:element  name = "xsl:stylesheet">
<xsl:copy-of select="document('')/*/namespace::*"/>
     <xsl:attribute  name = "version">1.0</xsl:attribute>

However having said all that, this is still true:
