RE: exclude-result-prefixes issue

My apologies, I agree with you that was not a namespace-well-formed XML
document.

What I am looking for is to create a Soap Envelope like the following:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
  <SOAP-ENV:Header
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPHeader
xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">
      <MCF-ENV:MCFSenderID>1000004310</MCF-ENV:MCFSenderID>
      <MCF-ENV:MCFReceiverID>Sender</MCF-ENV:MCFReceiverID>
      <MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp>2004-05-25
10:47:13</MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp>
      <MCF-ENV:logicalIdentifier>NA</MCF-ENV:logicalIdentifier>
      <MCF-ENV:businessDocIDs>5000010243</MCF-ENV:businessDocIDs>
      <MCF-ENV:messageState>Inbound</MCF-ENV:messageState>
    </MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPHeader>
  </SOAP-ENV:Header>
  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPBody xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">
      <MCF-ENV:businessDocID>5000010243</MCF-ENV:businessDocID>
      <MCF-ENV:MCFMessageType>MCFPurchaseOrder</MCF-ENV:MCFMessageType>
      <MCF-ENV:messageFormat>xCBL</MCF-ENV:messageFormat>
      <MCF-ENV:messageContainer>Order</MCF-ENV:messageContainer>
      <MCF-ENV:businessDoc>
InsertOrder
      </MCF-ENV:businessDoc>
    </MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPBody>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

The problem I have is when I declare a namespace for SOAP-ENV and
MCF-ENV the namespace gets added to each element I create.

So 

  <SOAP-ENV:Header
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPHeader
xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">
      <MCF-ENV:MCFSenderID>1000004310</MCF-ENV:MCFSenderID>
      <MCF-ENV:MCFReceiverID>Sender</MCF-ENV:MCFReceiverID>
      <MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp>2004-05-25
10:47:13</MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp>
      <MCF-ENV:logicalIdentifier>NA</MCF-ENV:logicalIdentifier>
      <MCF-ENV:businessDocIDs>5000010243</MCF-ENV:businessDocIDs>
      <MCF-ENV:messageState>Inbound</MCF-ENV:messageState>
    </MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPHeader>
  </SOAP-ENV:Header>

Winds up looking like

  <SOAP-ENV:Header
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPHeader
xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">
      <MCF-ENV:MCFSenderID
xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">1000004310</MCF-ENV:MCFSe
nderID>
      <MCF-ENV:MCFReceiverID
xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">Sender</MCF-ENV:MCFReceiv
erID>
      <MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp
xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">2004-05-25
10:47:13</MCF-ENV:transactionTimestamp>
      <MCF-ENV:logicalIdentifier
xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">NA</MCF-ENV:logicalIdenti
fier>
      <MCF-ENV:businessDocIDs
xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">5000010243</MCF-ENV:busin
essDocIDs>
      <MCF-ENV:messageState
xmlns:MCF-ENV="http://www.MCFmarket.com/soap/">Inbound</MCF-ENV:messageS
tate>
    </MCF-ENV:MCFSOAPHeader>
  </SOAP-ENV:Header>

exclude-result-prefixes only affects literal result elements. Your
stylesheet doesn't contain any literal result elements, so it has no
effect.

That is not a namespace-well-formed XML document, so it cannot be
produced using XSLT.
