[xsl] removing a null namespace

Subject: [xsl] removing a null namespace

Hi,

I'd be grateful if someone could give me an answer/better solution to my problem....

I have a document which contains, in part, some fragments of xhtml. I'm using copy-of to pass these elements through to the final xhtml document unaltered but I find they are having a null namespace added. Here are some cut down's that will hopefully explain what I mean...

///////////////////////// xsl ///////////////////////////
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:output method="xml"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" indent="yes"
/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="document/metadata" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/resources/sample.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<xsl:apply-templates select="document/content/markdown" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="markdown">
<xsl:copy-of select="child::*"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
///////////////////////// output ///////////////////////////

</div>
</body>
</html>
//////////////////////////
The xml document (not included here, but the relevant section is just plain <h1>header</h1><p>lipusm....</p>.

As I understand it doing a copy-of will include the namespace of the elements and, as there is no namespace in the original xml, this is "".

My problem is, how can I stop this being carried over into the transformed document? I can't use exclude-result-prefixes to exclude "", unless I'm mistaken.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks,
   Gavin
