I am trying to transform XML to xHTML using XSLT.

After doing this I get a xmlns="" attribute in all HTML tags(<p>).

This is my part of my XSL file

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
  <xsl:output method="xml"
       doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" 
       doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"/>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

What might be the problem?

    If you want all your result elements to be in the XHTML namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml then you need to put that namespace declaration on the xsl:stylesheet element so use

    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

       <xsl:output method="xml"
        doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" 
      doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="foo">
    <p>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </p>
  </xsl:template>

  ...
</xsl:stylesheet>
