You output xmlns="" if the following condition is true:

$this/../namespace::*[name()=''] and not($this/namespace::*[name()=''])

What is the XSLT 1.0 way to create that exactly output as a string -
I'm struggling to think how to handle the namespaces with out the
functions from xpath 2.0.

For example, how do you avoid outputting xmlns="" for <bbb/> ?

thanks in advance,
