Re: [xsl] Removing unwanted namespaces

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

Yes, this will work, but I think Ram also said he wants all namespace 
declarations at the top. Since this logic effectively strips all 
namespace nodes except where they are needed, the declarations will only 
appear at the point (or points, within the tree hierarchy) of first use.

(I also don't like using "*[local-name()='x']" tests but I'm unwilling 
to say they're bad, exactly. It's just that there are usually more 
graceful ways. :-)

Cheers,
Wendell
