RE: [xsl] statically known namespaces

[omprakash.v@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Mike,

"It would be nice if XSLT editors provided configuration options so you
could
say which namespaces you want automatically inserted, and which of them
should be listed in exclude-result-prefixes."

         The idea of having configuration options for namespaces is
definitely a good one. But wouldn't the list of namespaces to be inserted
and to be excluded vary from project to project and even between
stylesheets. So how could a global definition of required and not required
namespaces help in this case.

cheers,
prakash

It would be nice if XSLT editors provided configuration options so you
could
say which namespaces you want automatically inserted, and which of them
should be listed in exclude-result-prefixes.

I see a lot of stylesheets containing quite unnecessary declarations of
namespaces like XSL-FO. I assume these are usually caused by tools
possessing half-an-ounce of intelligence, rather than by users blindly
copying the heading of the last stylesheet they wrote.
