Hi,

Potentially a bug was found in libxslt; unfortunately, the reporter,
Alexander Nichau, didn't come through to the this list, so he sent
the mail as an attachment to me.
Here it comes:

At xsl-list lists mulberrytech com we found a possible bug in libxslt:

>> >>
>> >><html lang="de" xml:lang="de">
>> >><xsl:attribute
>> >>name="xmlns">http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml</xsl:attribute>

So according to the spec it should not be possible to use
<xsl:attribute name="xmlns">, because xmlns is no attribute.
