Re: [xsl] I need to make sure that all namespace declarations get output to a particular element, not the document element

The template that controls outputting the xforms model element

<xsl:template name="xformsgeneration">
   <xforms:model id="{$docElemlocalName}">
<xforms:instance id="Instance_1">
<xsl:copy-of select="self::*"/>
</xforms:instance>
<xforms:bind id="Binding0" required="true()"></xforms:bind>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="buildform">
<xsl:with-param name="inpath" select="'\\\'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="id" select="1"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:call-template name="createdocument">
<xsl:with-param name="docname" select="$docElemlocalName"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xforms:model>
</xsl:template>

The tree being copied by the copy-of select self::* is like this:

<in:Invoice
xmlns:style="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:style:1.0"
xmlns:cac="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-2"

xmlns:ext="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonExtensionComponents-2"
xmlns:xe="http://rep.oio.dk/tools/xformsExtension";

what comes out of this template is=

<xforms:model id="Invoice" xmlns:n="nodesetvariables"
xmlns:in="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2"
xmlns:number="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:datastyle:1.0">
<xforms:instance id="Instance_1">
<in:Invoice>
<ext:UBLExtensions
....

this makes me very sad....

maybe but I'm betting this is still gonna cause the problem somewhere.

will also try this.
