RE: [xsl] How to move all Namespace-URLs declarations from Elements to Header with XSLT script?

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To move all namespace declarations to the top level:

  <xsl:template match="/*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*, //namespace::*, child::node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

To move all namespace declarations as far down as they will go:

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:copy-of select="." copy-namespaces="no"/>
  </xsl:template>
