Yes, there's a danger in doing that. But if it's what you want to do, then it's the right thing to do. However, I would use `local-name()` rather than `name()`. If you don't want to copy the namespace from the source document, then you probably don't want to copy the prefix either. > > Any LREs in my stylesheet should employ xsl:element and xsl:attribute at construction with namespace=b". No, you can use LREs to construct elements in no namespace. Just make sure that there's an xmlns="" declaration in scope. > > Similar constructions should be used throughout, avoiding <xsl:copy> and <xsl:copy-of> (except when copying attributes). xsl:copy and xsl:copy-of are fine if you actually want to copy an element. If you want to change it, for example by putting it in a different namespace, then they aren't.
