Re: Why doesn't exclude-result-prefixes rid me of xmln

  I've found that it only puts this in when you use xsl:copy (it aught to have
  a parameter to avoid that, I think). Here is my solution:

    <xsl:template match="xhtml:*">
      <!-- This is an identity template for XHTML elements -->
      <!-- xsl:copy is no good because it explicitly gives the namespace
       <xsl:element name="{name(.)}">

You have this backwards.

xsl:copy would give an identity transform, preserving the xhtml
namespace.


xsl:element is not an identity transform: it renames the element from
being in the xhtml namespace to teh default namespace declared in the
stylesheet. You didn't say what that was, but since you said that it
resulted in fewer xmlns="" I asume that your default namespace is no
namespace. So your result is not xhtml at all but elements with the same
local names but in the wrong namespace.
