A question about the XSLT recommendation.. I think you'll find the answer in the Namespaces in XML recommendation. If you add the following to your XSLT stylesheet: <test xmlns="http://test"> <xsl:attribute name="test"/> </test> Namespaces in XML states that attributes without prefixes are in no namespace, not in the default namespace: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-names11-20060816/#uniqAttrs Should the result be: <test xmlns="http://test" test=""/> Yes ... because the element is in the default namespace and the attribute is in no namespace. The XSLT 2.0 recommendation states: "If the namespace attribute is not present, then the lexical Qname is expanded into an expanded-QName using the namespace declarations in effect for the xsl:attribute element, not including any default namespace declaration." Makes sense since unprefixed attributes are in no namespace. The xsl:attribute has no namespace attribute, and the lexical Qname contains no prefix. But since de default namespace declaration should not be included in resolving/expanding the Qname, I would expect the latter result should appear. Not when you take into consideration that unprefixed attributes are in no namespace. However, the latter is not valid according to: (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#ns-decl, 2nd paragraph or so) As they should. Am I misinterpreting the XSLT recommendation? No, you are unaware of the constraints of the namespaces recommendation. I hope this helps. . . . . . . .
