Re: [xsl] Copy idiom and overriding namespaces: trying to be smart, finding approaches

[Abel Braaksma Online <abel.online@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael,

Well, what I am trying to do is replacing the namespace from the input 
document with some other namespace. Doing it for just one element (like 
the root element) would still cause all other children to keep the 
namespace of the input document. That's why I try to use the copy idiom 
and override it for certain values.

Perhaps every node has a local name, but this is set to empty "" for 
text nodes (not sure if that's really correct, but it is what happens 
with Saxon 8 ). My first solution was without this local-name() thing, 
but I got runtime xslt errors for trying to create elements with empty 
names, hence this solution.
