If you use an element or attribute from a namespace in the result then the processor has to add a namespace declaration to ensure the output conforms to the namespace rec. This is explained in the procedure described in the section on the xml output method. <parent xsl:exclude-result-prefixes="test"> <child test:name="my name" /> here the output has an attribute in the namespace http://test and so when linearising the result as XML a namespace declaration for this namespace must be added by the system. Does your SVG plugin _really_ demand that you use an attribute name of the form test:name without declaring a namespace for the prefix test: if so it is surely in error.
