 If an element in the result tree is in the XHTML namespace, that's because you put it there, and the way to get rid of the namespace declaration is to STOP putting it there. The way you put it there depends on how you created the element. The three ways of creating an element are essentially (a) xsl:element (b) xsl:copy/copy-of (c) literal result elements With xsl:element, the new element goes in the namespace selected in the namespace attribute (as you indicate). With xsl:copy/copy-of, it retains the namespace it had in the source document With literal result elements, it retains the namespace that the LRE has in the stylesheet. If you want to change the namespace of an element in the source document, you can't use xsl:copy/copy-of, you need to use xsl:element.

Since I have too many documents to transform, I have left the doctype and html/namespace in place and modified the stylesheet namespace declarations like this: > > <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform <http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform>" > version="3.0" > xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>" > xpath-default-namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>" > xmlns:map="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map <http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map>" > xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema>" > xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/ <http://saxon.sf.net/>" > exclude-result-prefixes="xs map #default saxon"> > > > Well and good.

These namespace declarations donbt hamper the display of the resulting documents. However, text is text and the extra load, over pages and pages of such output canbt but add time to rendering pages. Of course, having one namespace declaration at the root level is preferable to having all child elements carrying a ns. > > Any help in this would be appreciated. > > Terry > > > XSL-List info and archive <http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list> > EasyUnsubscribe <http://lists.mulberrytech.com/unsub/xsl-list/293509> (by email <>)
