Re: [xsl] problem adding namespace node

["Majirus FANSI" <jmfansi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi ken,
thank you for replying.
I did try <xsl:copy-of select="xalan:nodeset($dummy)/*/namespace::p"/>.
But the situation remains the same. No namespace created. I have tried both 
with xalan 2.6.0 and saxon 8. The result is the same: only <p:a/>, without 
namespace declaration.
any other tips are welcome.
Regards,

Majirus
