Re: Need help with XSLT: adding new node btw existing

No, every processor would do this in this example, unless it has a bug.

So, is there no way using xslt to avoid the addition of xmlns=" " ?
Apparently I cant use anything external like perl to remove this
string later from the output xml file.

I also noticed that if i my input xml doc contains some additional
elements then they get skipped in the output xml doc using my existing
xslt. Can you please tell me what I am missing in my current xslt?
Thanks a lot!
