Thanks Ken & David, Somehow I got the feeling that I meant about the same as you, and I am glad to know it is the specs that mandate this behavior, and not Saxon. Sorry for the confusion. The OP requested (if I understood correctly) that he needed the declaration of the namespace on one certain element precisely, namely, _before_ it'd be actually used. To do so, David pointed out that the OP could use a new declaration with other prefixes. I pointed out that you could remove the declarations from the xsl:stylesheet element and put them on the elements where you need it instead (I had to look up the word "prune", English is not my native tongue, but I think I meant about the same in my own jibberish ;). I don't think this latter approach is a good approach at all, but it does the job. All in all, I now have a much better understanding of 'exclude-result-prefixes', of which my little knowledge just said 'it removes the declarations when they are not needed (yet)'. Close enough, but you two (Ken, David) make the whole process much more understandable. I hope I didn't misguide the archive readers too much ;) Cheers, -- Abel
