Re: [xslt] Suppressing namespace attributes

[<Nicholas_Liebmann McAfee com>]

Hi,

I found the only reliable way to remove unwanted namespaces was to pass
the result set through a template....
e.g.

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:variable name="myUnDesiredOutput">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="..."/>
    </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:apply-templates select="exsl:node-set($myUnDesiredOutput)"
mode="copy-no-namespace"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="copy-no-namespace">
    <xsl:element name="{name()}"> <!-- This removes the namespace -->
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()|comment()"
mode="copy-no-namespace"/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
    
<xsl:template match="text()|comment()" mode="copy-no-namespace">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()|comment()"
mode="copy-no-namespace"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

I have tried adding extension-element-prefixes="ur" to my
<xsl:stylesheet> element, but unfortunately that seems to have the same
result as Brett's
suggestion: the xmlns:ur attribute moves from the <section> element to
the <para> element.

Combining the two solutions also fails to yield the desired result ;-)
