RE: [xsl] Change Namespace of element and children

["Kevin L. Cobb" <kevin.cobb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all for the quick responses.

I made a template match that remakes all of the elements passing
through.
Works as expected.

   <xsl:template match="*">
      <xsl:element name="{local-name()}"
namespace="http://www.mystuff.com";>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|*|text()"/>
      </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>

You can change the namespace for MySubElement1 in exactly the same way
as you changed the namespace for MyElement. It won't happen
automatically: the namespace of an element is determined entirely by the
way you create that element, and not by the namespace of its new parent.
