Hi George,
 I have few more doubts..

The template matching elements can be further simplified to (Its
slightly different than yours):

<xsl:template match="*">
   <xsl:element name="{translate(name(), $small, $caps)}">
     <xsl:variable name="nsHolder">
       <test>
         <xsl:for-each select="current()//namespace::*[not(name()='xml')]">
           <xsl:attribute name="{translate(name(), $small,
$caps)}:dummy{position()}" namespace="{translate(., $small,
$caps)}"></xsl:attribute>
         </xsl:for-each>
       </test>
     </xsl:variable>
     <xsl:copy-of select="exslt:node-set($nsHolder)/test/namespace::*"/>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Also, you have written a predicate
[not(name()='xml')]

I observed, that the namespace nodes of elements contain a special
namespace xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/xml/1998/namespace" (as
reported by Saxon). To suppress this in the output, you have used this
predicate.

But this predicate doesn't work as expected, with MSXML. MSXML outputs
xmlns:auto-ns1="http://www.w3.org/xml/1998/namespace" in the absence
of this predicate.

Probably we need to write the above predicate as [not(name()='xml') or
not(name()='auto-ns1')] to cater to both Saxon and MSXML.

I have a related question: What is the purpose of namespace
http://www.w3.org/xml/1998/namespace ?

I am still curious what is the problem with Xalan?

Mukul

Hi Mukul,

You need the node-set extension I think.
Change your template that matches elements like below:

<xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:element name="{translate(name(), $small, $caps)}"
      namespace="{translate(namespace-uri(), $small, $caps)}">
      <xsl:variable name="currentNamepsace" select="namespace-uri()"/>
      <xsl:variable name="nsHolder">
        <test>
          <xsl:for-each
            select="current()//namespace::*[not(.=$currentNamepsace)
and not(name()='xml')]"
          >
            <xsl:attribute name="{translate(name(), $small,
$caps)}:dummy{position()}"
              namespace="{translate(., $small, $caps)}"></xsl:attribute>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </test>
      </xsl:variable>

      <xsl:copy-of select="exslt:node-set($nsHolder)/test/namespace::*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

and add
xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common"
  exclude-result-prefixes="exslt"
on the stylesheet element.

Basically you need to create new namespace nodes and copy them instead
of the old namespaces and also you need to change the namespace of the
created elements and attributes (so you have to change accordingly the
template that handles your attributes).

Best Regards,
George
