Re: [xsl] I need to make sure that all namespace declarations get output to a particular element, not the document element

yep, read the following from open office xforms:


"
First of all, the forms processor does not see the full document as a
DOM tree. Only the actual instances are treated as a DOM. Consequently,
any namespaces that are declared further up in the full document tree
are not available to the processor.

Furthermore the XML editing UI in OOo misses some aspects of namespace
handling. You can only specify namespace declarations on individual
bindings. In my opinion that is very inconvenient. I think it should be
possible to at least specify them in a way where they can be used in all
bindings. So they would for instance be declared on the xforms:model
element. Nevertheless, the fact that only the instance is treated as
generic XML makes the whole namespace handling very cumbersome.

"
Thus I need to make sure my namespace declarations come out on the XML
subtree that the OO xforms processor is taking as the document
element, basically.
