The spec says: if the namespace-context attribute is absent, then the in-scope namespaces of the xsl:evaluate instruction (with the exception of any binding for the default namespace) are used as the statically known namespaces for the target expression, and the value of the innermost [xsl:]xpath-default-namespace attribute, if any, is used as the default namespace for elements and types in the target expression. So the default namespace in the stylesheet is not used, and if there is no xpath-default-namespace attribute, then there will be no default namespace for elements and types, which means that "no prefix means no namespace". The rules are exactly the same as for static XPath expressions in the stylesheet. > > I believe that in case 2, the default-namespace binding of the > <xsl:evaluate> instruction should become the the default-namespace > binding in the evaluation context (the alternative is to ignore this > and nave no default-namespace binding for the evaluation case -- as > obviously should be done in case 1.) > No, this isn't what happens. The rules for handling of the default namespace cause enormous problems for XSLT beginners, and I would love to change them if I could, but it's too late for that. And I think it's right that the rules for xsl:evaluate, in the absence of a namespace-context attribute, should be exactly the same as for static XPath expressions. Michael Kay Saxonica
