Specifying xmlns on xsl:element won't make a difference. Remember, the xlmns attributes do not exist in the tree model; namespace nodes do. You can't create an attribute node named xmlns. So if you did something like <xsl:element name="foo" xmlns="blah"> <bar/> </xsl:element> then you should get <foo> <bar xmlns="blah"/> </foo> because all you did when you added the xmlns attribute to xsl:element was you said that *in the stylesheet* for the *xsl:element* and its contents, that this namespace was in effect. In the tree model it looks like element node: 'element' in ns 'http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' | \\___namespace node: 'blah' is the default namespace | \___attribute node: 'name' has value 'foo' | |___element node: 'bar' in namespace 'blah' \___namespace node: 'blah' is the default namespace which translates to: (XSLT instruction to create an element named 'foo' in result tree) | |___(literal result element: copy it to the result tree, namespace nodes and all) thereby causing the result tree to contain: element node: 'foo' | |___element node: 'bar' in namespace 'blah' \___namespace node: 'blah' is the default namespace which gets serialized as: <foo> <bar xmlns="blah"/> </foo> Does that help? - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown, fourthought.com | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | personal: http://hyperreal.org/~mike/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
