[xsl] Re: Unwanted namespace prefix _0

[Martin Holmes <mholmes@xxxxxxx>]

Here are some test files:

<http://web.uvic.ca/~lancenrd/test/test.xml>
<http://web.uvic.ca/~lancenrd/test/test.xsl>

I was doing the transforms in Oxygen, using both a Transformation
Scenario and using the XSLT debugger. But when I run this on the command 
line, I don't have the problem.

So this must be something to do with Oxygen's settings, but I can't see
anything that seems relevant yet. If I figure it out I'll report back.
Meanwhile, anyone who happens to have Oxygen running, could you try this 
and let us know whether you also see the prefixes in the output?

Graydon's suggestion of copy-namespaces="no" fixes it, though.

Cheers,
Martin
