You can get the same effect by using a temporary tree and then copying the namespace out of it. <xsl:variable name="dummy"> <xsl:element name="p:a" namespace="something"/> </xsl:variable> <a> <xsl:copy-of select="$dummy/*/namespace::*[1]"/> </a> You will need to use your processors nodeset function to access $dummy in the copy-of. There may be a minor portability issue here in that a processor is not required to respect your choice of prefix, i.e. the 'p' may be changed to something else, although that is unlikely unless you have used 'p' for something else. It works ok with Saxon. Kev. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
