 Re: Default namespace in result document
I asked how to get this:

<root xmlns="http://example.com/foo">
   <foo>
     <blah/>
   </foo>
</root>

rather than this:

<foo:root xmlns:foo="http://example.com/foo">
   <foo xmlns="http://example.com/foo">
     <blah/>
   </foo>
</foo:root>

i.e. with no more namespace attributes than necessary.

Unfortunately this doesn't work; I get exactly the same output.

Andrew Welch suggested:

>   xmlns="http://example.com/foo">

> (note the foo prefix has been removed)

This does work - thanks Andrew - but I'm not keen on changing the namespace prefixes for all the literal elements like this; I was hoping for an easier way, such as an attribute on xsl:output or something like that.

More googling has found the xsl:namespace element in 2.0. Is this useful for this problem? Is there anything else I can do?

Cheers,
