They will anyway with some parsers (which are allowed to throw away comments) (But I don't think this applies to msxsl) > Additionally the root node of the input xml has an xmlns attribute Two errors or terminology there. The root node is not the top level element it is the conceptual root of the tree corresponding to the whole document, and not to any explicit markup. Root nodes can't have attributes. Also to a namespace aware system xmlns:x= is _not_ an attribute. In Xpath they do not produce attribute nodes, but rather result in namespace nodes. You can't generate namespace declarations using xsl:attribute. To get the namespace copied, since you are using xsl-element, you just need to use the remaining attribute of that: instead of name="{translate(name(), 'A... you could use something like: name="{translate(name(), 'A... namespace="namespace-uri()) David XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
