Re: [xsl] Global namespace prefixes (Corrected Examples)

[Nathan Potter <ndp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So there must be differences in our XSLT processors. With the  
stylesheet you provided below I get:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";  
xmlns:dap="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/DAP/3.2#";>
  <att:Conventions xmlns:att="http://base.document/att#";>CF-1.0</ 
att:Conventions>
  <att:logname xmlns:att="http://base.document/att#";>olson</ 
att:logname>
  <att:host xmlns:att="http://base.document/att#";>bb0001en</att:host>
</rdf:RDF>

No top level att prefix.

And if I add a copy-of the dummy element to the result tree:

   <xsl:template match="dap:Dataset" >
        <rdf:RDF>
            <xsl:copy-of select="exslt:node-set($dummy)/*/ 
namespace::att"/>
            <xsl:copy-of select="$dummy"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates />
        </rdf:RDF>

   </xsl:template>

I get this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";  
xmlns:dap="http://xml.opendap.org/ns/DAP/3.2#";>
  <dummy xmlns="http://base.document/att#"; />
  <att:Conventions xmlns:att="http://base.document/att#";>CF-1.0</ 
att:Conventions>
  <att:logname xmlns:att="http://base.document/att#";>olson</ 
att:logname>
  <att:host xmlns:att="http://base.document/att#";>bb0001en</att:host>
</rdf:RDF>


And the dummy element doesn't have a prefix.



So really this may be a situation where a fix is simply not possible  
across different XSLT processors, or at least with the one I have been  
using.


Based on the documentation for JDOM 1.0, which is what I am using to  
work with my XML documents in Java land, I think I am using the Xalan  
2.2d10 XSLT processor.
