RE: Differing behavior of Xalan and Saxon with namespa

The output you are expecting is the correct output, and is the output
that I get from all the versions of Saxon that I have tried it on.

Please add to your stylesheet the line:

<xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"/>

which will confirm which XSLT processor you are using when you get the
incorrect behavior. I don't believe that it is any recent release of
Saxon.
