The conditions that cause this situation to arise in the result tree depend entirely on your stylesheet; and of course the XSLT processor doesn't even know that you are trying to produce XHTML. Uh, I'm afraid I don't follow. Can you please give an example? My stylesheet is taking a no-namespace DocBook tree and parsing it into an XHTML file, with a single namespace declaration in the <html> tag, with no namespace prefix (that is, xmlns="whatever the URI is for XHTML"). > If two processors produce output files that are materially different in their namespace declarations, then one of them is wrong. Does extra namespace undeclaration count as materially different? -- Larry Garfield lgarfiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do you have a PalmOS Organizer?
