Re: getting rid of namespace definition

Consider this very very simple stylesheet :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:sql="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0">

        <xsl:template match="/root">
        <root/>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The transformer automatically copies the sql: namespace definition into the root node produced after the transformation.

I want to disable that, how can I do ?

T:\ftemp>type philippe.xml
<root/>

T:\ftemp>type philippe.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:sql="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0"
                exclude-result-prefixes="sql">

  <xsl:template match="/root">
    <root/>
  </xsl:template>

T:\ftemp>xslt philippe.xml philippe.xsl con
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><root/>
T:\ftemp>
