Re: xsl templates, Removing spurious namespace declara

> (the output uses a DTD)
The document may (and many do) use a DTD even if it uses a namespace
(xhtml, mathml etc are all defined by DTD and use namespaced elements)


> <xsl:copy-of select="current()"/>

this will copy all namespace nodes from the source document.
If you don't want that, you can use <xsl:copy or even
<xsl:element name="{local-name()"> to get finer control, buta question
about your attributes.

If your input has "xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
then where is the gml: prefix used? You will not be able to generate any
element names or attribute names that contain a colon that are not in a
namespace as XSLT only works with (or generates) XML files that conform
to the Namespace Rec, colon's in XML names always denote namespaces.

If you need to move elements/attributes out of a namespace into
no-namespace then you don't want to copy them you need to construct new
ones, something like
<xsl:element name="{local-name()" namespace="">
or the same with xsl:attribute
