I've been considering this very point recently. It appears to me that it is perfectly acceptable (though inefficient) behaviour for serialisation to output this, as 1) The standard doesn't prohibit it (I've looked, though I may have missed it), and 2) defining the xml namespace is allowed provided that the exact same definition as seen above is used. Therefore when the serialised XML is parsed afresh, there won't be a problem. -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
