Re: [xsl] Getting the root namespace from the input document

["bryan rasmussen" <rasmussen.bryan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay I have to say that xalan and xsltproc give the results I would
expect from an XSLT 1.0 processor (not expect as in asserting this is
what the standard says but just expect as in what I would predict
would be the result) and saxon 6 gives the result I would expect for
an XSLT 2.0 processor.

Now I guess the question is, as you indicated before, if the
expectation meets a standard requirement.
cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen
