First, a thank you in advance. Second, this is my first post so apologies for any errors or wrongdoings.

I am a noob w/ xml and xslt, and can’t seem to figure this out. When I transform some xml using xslt 2.0, some of the headers from the xslt leaks into the new xml. It doesn’t seem to do it in xslt 1.0 (granted the xslt is a little different). Here is the xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xml_content>
<feed_name>feed</feed_name>
<feed_info>
    <entry_1>
        <id>1</id>
        <pub_date>1320814800</pub_date>
    </entry_1>
</feed_info>
</xml_content>

Here is the xslt:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="xml_content">  
<Records>
    <xsl:for-each select="feed_info/entry_1">
        <Record>
            <ID><xsl:value-of select="id" /></ID>
            <PublicationDate><xsl:value-of select='xs:dateTime("1970-01-01T00:00:00") + xs:integer(pub_date) * xs:dayTimeDuration("PT1S")'/></PublicationDate>
        </Record>
    </xsl:for-each>
</Records>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Here is the new xml. Look specifically at the first “Records” element.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Records xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict">
         <Record>
             <ID>1</ID>
             <PublicationDate>2011-11-09T05:00:00</PublicationDate>
         </Record>
</Records>

    Well if you put in literal result elements and the xsl:stylesheet defines a default namespace (with e.g. xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict") then that namespace applies to those result elements and the XSLT processor correctly emits that namespace declaration on the root of the result document. I am sure that happens with XSLT 1.0 and 2.0.

    As for the xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", you can get rid of that by adding exclude-result-prefixes="xs" on the xsl:stylesheet element.
