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

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

Hi George,

Thanks for looking into it and remembering. I looked through the thread, 
and what I understand from it, is that it's basically the same approach 
I am using. Meaning, that I should feel confident with the current 
solution as being the right one to use. A copy of my last attempt, 
leaving out comment nodes and processing instructions:

   <xsl:template match="@*" >
       <xsl:copy />    
   </xsl:template>
  
   <xsl:template match="*" >
       <xsl:element name="{local-name()}" namespace="{$target-namespace}">
           <xsl:apply-templates  select="@* | node()" />
       </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>

In short, I could conclude that it is not possible to make a template 
only for namespace nodes and change the result tree namespace when you 
encounter an input namespace. Use for-each can be used for getting all 
namespace nodes. Using the above, can be used to create elements that 
are ripped off of any namespace information, and receive a new namespace 
instead. Looking again at the above, it doesn't look that hard anymore 
now... ;)

Cheers,
Abel
