RE: Problem with XSL and Namespace

Jeni and David,

I'm sorry. The xmlns="http://www.topicmaps.org/xtm/1.0/" attribute is a
mistake.
I'll redefine my problem.

I'm making a stylesheet for generate another stylesheet. I'm using Saxon
6.5.2.
I want to create a root element in the XML document final (generated by
the second stylesheet) with a
namespace xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" like above:

<root xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

But, if I define in the "mother" stylesheet this

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/TransformAlias">
	<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="axsl"
result-prefix="xsl"/>
	<axsl:template match="/">
		<root xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
	 		...
		      <node>
            		<ref xlink:href="#products"/>
		      </node>
	 		...
		</root>
	</axsl:template>

the result XSL in "son" stylesheet is:

<axsl:stylesheet xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

   <axsl:template match="/">
      <root>
 		...
	      <node>
           		<ref xlink:href="#products"/>
	      </node>
 		...
	</root>
   </axsl:template>

The namespace xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" was retired of
"root" element and put in "stylesheet" element.
Why? 
So, the final XML document generated is:

<root>
	...
      <node>
    		<ref xlink:href="#products"/>
      </node>
	...
</root>

How can I to generate this?

<root xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
	...
      <node>
    		<ref xlink:href="#products"/>
      </node>
	...
</root>

Thanks in advance,
