RE: adding namespaces to result nodes

Hi Mike,
         Iam taking the text of an element in the input file and making it
into an element. The element in question is named 'slideshow' and it
doesn't have a prefix. You say
"the processor may put the element in the default namespace, or it may
invent a prefix"
Does this mean the processor Iam using (xalan) is adding the prefix whereas
another processor may not.

Iam not tied to any processor and I may opt for another processor if this
is the case other things permitting.

Also you suggested a workaround using xsl:copy-of in your earlier mail.
Will this prevent the prefixes from getting added.

Also, I would like to know how to add another namespace say for eg the
schema namespace to an element created in the default namespace.

Cheers,
Omprakash.V

You haven't said what the value of $elemname is. If it includes a prefix,
then most XSLT 1.0 processors will attempt to use that prefix, thought they
aren't obliged to do so. If it doesn't include a prefix, then the processor
may put the element in the default namespace, or it may invent a prefix.
