true, just in expressions.

bash-2.01$ grep "namespace::" dp2.xsl
bash-2.01$ 

well grep agrees with me that it isn't used 
(if we are talking about the same file)


change your template to


<xsl:template match="*">
<tag>Namespace:<xsl:choose><xsl:when test="namespace-uri(.)"><xsl:value-of
select="namespace-uri(.)"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise> Null namespace</xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>

<xsl:for-each select="namespace::*">
 NS name: <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>
 NS value : <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

</tag>
  <tag>name: <xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/></tag>
  <tag>local-name: <xsl:value-of select="local-name(.)"/></tag>
  <tag>Content: <xsl:value-of select="text()"/></tag>
  <xsl:if test="./*"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:if>
</xsl:template>



_then_ you have to use saxon.

Saxon gets it right. xt doesn't (as documented) know about the namespace
axis and xalan (a new version I fetched yesterday) doesn't appear
to support exclude-result-prefixes, and incorrectly includes xmlns:
in the name of the namespace node.
