 If anyone *does* know of an official and reliable way to generate a namespace declaration into a document at a specific point In the past I've tried unsuccessfully doing an <xsl:copy-of> from the stylesheet to the result as in: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xslo="dummy"
version="1.0"><xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xslo" result-prefix="xsl"/> <xsl:template match="/">
<output>
<xsl:copy-of select="document('')/*/namespace::xslo"/>
<xslo:embedded/>
</output>
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> but though it works in XT it doesn't work in Saxon because in Saxon the dummy namespace URI of the copied namespace node isn't being translated. I'm willing to accept either way as correct, but don't know which way that would be. My fallback is to just add a placebo attribute to the result document element: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xslo="dummy"
version="1.0"><xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="xslo" result-prefix="xsl"/> <xsl:template match="/">
<output xslo:dummy="">
<xslo:embedded/>
</output>
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> > If not... well, the article goes out as "it's ugly but it works." If adding the document element placebo is less ugly than the repeated declarations, and it doesn't interfere with the result (which it might ... I am changing the result information set by doing this and that may not be acceptable), then you are all set. I hope this helps. ......................
