I am trying to generate one xsl from another.
I want to change the name-space prefix from "outputxsl" to "xsl".
But it isn't working.

Is there a bug or am I missing s/th.

What you are missing is the prefixed used in your stylesheet has to be the one that is serialized in the XML result ... otherwise attribute values such as name="outputxsl:test" would not be resolved with the correct prefix. The processor doesn't know which output attributes are QNames, so it has no idea which attribute need to be massaged.


Why is it important to you, since it is going to work anyway?

When I use one of my stylesheets for stylesheets for my customers, I use an "xst:" prefix in my stylesheet and output an "xsl:" prefix since my customer asked me for the same thing: he was used to seeing "xsl:" and didn't believe that any prefix could be used.

I hope this helps.
