output is a file using a nil prefix ns.
top level element specifies the default ns
<template match= x>
<el xmlns="myns">
for all the children of this element (in the output),
if I specify no ns, Saxon (correctly I guess), adds
<el xmlns="">
i.e. reverts to the 'null' ns (or whatever its called).
Having specified the ns in the top level element,
must I really add the xmlns attribute to all children?
<q> if a prefix foo is used in a tag, but the element does not have an
xmlns:foo attribute, then the value of the parent element's xmlns:foo
attribute will be used; if the parent does not have an xmlns:foo attribute,
then the value of the grandparent element's xmlns:foo attribute will be
used, and so on. </q> src = http://jclark.com/xml/xmlns.htm
I guess this still applies to the 'empty' ns? or is that special?
Confused (again) by ns's.
