[xsl] Avoiding Namespace Declarations in Output

---

---

Hi,

Can someone help me with whats no doubt a very simple problem.

How do I avoid unwanted namespace declarations appearing in output from
XSLT created by xsl:copy-of?

For example, if my input file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<menu xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <item>
        <ObjectType>MI</ObjectType>
        <Caption>Breakfast Menu</Caption>
        <Title>Select the item you want...</Title>
        <NagDelay>15</NagDelay>
        <Hidden>0</Hidden>
        <PLU>0</PLU>
        <FulfilmentArea>0</FulfilmentArea>
        <ItemType>0</ItemType>
    </item>
    <item>
        <ObjectType>SI</ObjectType>
        <Caption>Toasted Bacon &amp; Cream Cheese Bagel</Caption>
        <Title/>
        <NagDelay>25</NagDelay>
        <Hidden>1</Hidden>
        <PLU>TB_MA_BK_01</PLU>
        <FulfilmentArea>0</FulfilmentArea>
        <ItemType>0</ItemType>
    </item>
</menu>

And my XSL file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
      xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
      version="2.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="item">
            <xsl:choose>
                <xsl:when test="ObjectType='MI'">
                    <Category>
                        <Caption>
                            <English><xsl:value-of
select="Caption"/></English>
                        </Caption>
                        <Title>
                            <English><xsl:value-of
select="Title"/></English>
                        </Title>
                        <xsl:copy-of select="NagDelay"/>
                        <xsl:copy-of select="Hidden"/>
                    </Category>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:when test="ObjectType='SI'">
                    <SalesItem>
                        <xsl:attribute name="plu"><xsl:value-of
select="PLU"/></xsl:attribute>
                        <DynamicAttributes>
                            <xsl:copy-of select="FulfilmentArea"/>
                            <ItemType>Item</ItemType>
                        </DynamicAttributes>
                        <Caption>
                            <English><xsl:value-of
select="Caption"/></English>
                        </Caption>
                    </SalesItem>
                </xsl:when>
            </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

My output is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Category>
   <Caption>
      <English>Breakfast Menu</English>
   </Caption>
   <Title>
      <English>Select the item you want...</English>
   </Title>
   <NagDelay
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">15</NagDelay>
   <Hidden xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">0</Hidden>
</Category>
    <SalesItem plu="TB_MA_BK_01">
   <DynamicAttributes>
      <FulfilmentArea
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">0</FulfilmentArea>
      <ItemType>Item</ItemType>
   </DynamicAttributes>
   <Caption>
      <English>Toasted Bacon &amp; Cream Cheese Bagel</English>
   </Caption>
</SalesItem>

How do I get rid of those untidy
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" attributes?

This was done with Oxygen, which was using Saxon-B.

Thanks - Rowan
