Re: [xml] empty xmlns attributes

All I'm trying to do is take some xhtml-ish xml document, and apply a

W3C validation keeps moaning about `xmlns=""' attributes.  I just
can't work out why these attribute appear in the final output, or how to
get rid of them.


This is the exact same problem that was affecting my docbook site a
couple of days ago.


I'm using
    libxml2-2.5.2
    libxslt-1.0.25


same for me.


I've included the files and the output below my sig.  If someone could
cast an expert eye over them....

well, after Daniel throwed an hint, I realized you just have to declare
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; in the 1st non-xsl tag for each 
xsl:template block.  E.g. the line above should have been:

<a href="{ href}" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>


      <img src="img/item.gif" alt="[click]"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </a>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:copy>

      <!-- xsl:copy-of select="@*" -->

      <xsl:for-each select="@*">
          <xsl:copy/>
      </xsl:for-each>

      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>


here I suppose you should add an <xsl:attribute> forcing again
xmlns (but I'm guessing, maybe it's a shot in the dark)

The weirdest thing is that my theory works for me, but doesn't apply 
to your example, because you get correct xmlns in your <a> tags:


# ---- OUTPUT ---------------------------

[...]

      <i>Generated by <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; href="http://www.lipsum.com/";>


This lets me believe I've not understood where the real problem is :)
