RE: With Saxon7.2, can an aliased namespace prefixbeex

I have been using Saxon7.2 with Cocoon2.0.4dev without
trouble until this problem.  I worked on it more last night and
found out that when running saxon from the command the
right output is generated, but running it from within cocoon
the output is not well formed.  With this new info, I am not
sure if the bug is in saxon or not.  See below for sample
code and output from each situation.

Copy of email sent to cocoon-users list:

Subject: Output not well formed from Cocoon, but fine from Saxon on command line

Using Saxon7.2 in Cocoon 2.0.4dev from Nov 13 2002,
I apply stylesheet A to stylesheet B.
This produces stylesheet C, which is NOT well formed.
(Notice the <xsl:copy>...</x2:copy>)

Using Saxon7.2 from the command line,
I apply stylesheet A to stylesheet B.
This produces stylesheet D, which IS well formed.

Anybody have clues how to get this to work from Cocoon?
