Hi all, can someone explain why the following XML and XSLT produces an xmlns="" attribute on the image tag in the output. I am using MSXML4

XML:
<root/>

XSLT: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:local="#local-functions" xmlns:s="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data" xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl local s dt rdf">

<xsl:variable name="rss_rdf_resource_image">
<xsl:element name="image">
<xsl:attribute name="rdf:resource">/images/logo042.gif</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:variable>
	<!--

--> <xsl:template match="root"> <rdf:RDF xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:image="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/image/"> <channel rdf:about="http://about.about.com/"> <title>Recently Edited Articles</title> <link>http://about.about.com/dfgdsf</link> <description>Recently Edited Articles</description> <dc:date>2005-11-29T10:16+03:00</dc:date> <xsl:copy-of select="$rss_rdf_resource_image"/> </channel> </rdf:RDF> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

Output:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/" xmlns:image="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/image/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <channel rdf:about="http://about.about.com/"> <title>Recently Edited Articles</title> <link>http://about.about.com/dfgdsf</link> <description>Recently Edited Articles</description> <dc:date>2005-11-29T10:16+03:00</dc:date> <image rdf:resource="/images/logo042.gif" xmlns=""/> </channel> </rdf:RDF>
