Here's some of the relevant templates from the XSLT file (the whole file is a
bit large to past in here):
====== XSLT =====
<xsl:template match="article">

And here's a portion of one of the XML input files (Note: Don't think too
hard about the content, it's for a rather wacky sci-fi club):
===== XML =====

And here's the output I'm getting using MSXML. I get the same thing in XT,
but not in Xalan-C or Xalan-J.
===== XHTML =====

=================
The problem, of course, is al of those extra xmlns="" hanging around.
Looking at it again, it appears to be happening in all of the block level
tags (p, hx div), except for the ones that have a class declaration for CSS.
So either XT and MSXML are in error, or there's a bug in my script and Xalan
is in error by correcting it.
Any suggestions?
