   As pointed by http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/bugs.html the first thing to
do is to check with a recent version. Since you don't indicate it I'm 
pretty sure it's just that you're using an older one, this has been fixed
a few releases ago in libxml2. So upgrade !

paphio:~/tmp -> xsltproc tst.xsl tst.xml
<html xmlns:foo="http://borland.com/bogus";>
<foo:whatever xmlns:foo="http://borland.com/bogus";>one</foo:whatever><foo:whatever xmlns:foo="http://borland.com/bogus";>two</foo:whatever><foo:whatever xmlns:foo="http://borland.com/bogus";>three</foo:whatever><foo:whatever xmlns:foo="http://borland.com/bogus";>four</foo:whatever>
</html>
paphio:~/tmp ->

   But your report was useful anyway, as you can see there was a bug in the
namespace handling resulting in repeated xmlns:foo declarations. I fixed it
in CVS and added it to the regression tests:

paphio:~/tmp -> xsltproc tst.xsl tst.xml
<html xmlns:foo="http://borland.com/bogus";>
<foo:whatever>one</foo:whatever><foo:whatever>two</foo:whatever><foo:whatever>three</foo:whatever><foo:whatever>four</foo:whatever>
</html>
paphio:~/tmp ->

   This looks better,

     thanks,

Daniel
