Abel,
   Thats correct I did mean prefixes. I found a way to do what I need.

<xsl:template match="/*"> <xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no"> <xsl:namespace name="xsi" select="'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
 <xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

This removes all the namespace declarations on all elements and defines the xsi namespace at the top level, meaning it isn't required at each element with an @xsi:nil like it previously was :-)

HTH someone else, thanks to MHK (via XSLT 2.0)

Hi all, I'm trying to remove all the unused and duplicate declarations from my document, but they can change depending on the input, is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks in advance

If you transform something with XSLT 2.0, you can set exclude-result-prefixes="#all" on the main xsl:stylesheet or xsl:transform element, which will remove all namespace declarations that are unused.

It doesn't matter whether your prefixes change. If your namespace changes, your whole document (i.e, the identity of your document and nodes) changes and you'll have to pull other tricks. But different namespaces for the same content are unlikely, so I presume you meant prefixes, right?
