Re: [xsl] How to force prefixes instead of expanded qnames?

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't show us your code then we can't tell you how to change it.

Most of the time XSLT 2.0 gives the processor no discretion about choice 
of prefixes: you get the prefix you ask for. For example, xsl:copy-of 
copies names from the source document (prefixes and all), while literal 
result elements copy them from the stylesheet.
