RE: [xsl] Transferring xmlns aliases to result tree.

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

When you use a literal result element, the element that is created in
the result tree should have namespace declarations for all the
namespaces that were in scope for the literal result element in the
stylesheet.

It's difficult to tell from your example, but perhaps you are declaring
the namespace "impl" in the source document and using the prefix "impl:"
in the stylesheet? That won't work. If it's used in the stylesheet it
must be declared in the stylesheet.
