Thank you Harry and Manos! I want to provide a summary of this thread - maybe this could be included into some docs.
Problem: ******** ... I use namespaces and I want to remove them in my result xml ... (original mail: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=102551958020786&w=2) Solutions, which NOT work: ************************** exclude-result-prefixes (in the stylesheet) [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=100101165325379&w=2] <omit-xml-declaration> (in the sitemap) [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=100084611731795&w=2] exclude-prefixes (in the stylesheet) http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=101912408904652&w=2 Solutions, which WORK: ********************** 1.) Harry Lai: ---------- Kay's XSLT Programmer's Reference: "The xsl:exclude-result-prefixes and exclude-result-prefixes attributes apply only to namespace nodes copied from the stylesheet using literal result elements. They do not affect namespace nodes copied from the source document using <xsl:copy> or <xsl:copy-of>: there is no way of suppressing these." Unfortunately, since xslt's will often have a catch-all template matcher to copy elements it doesn't transform, this comes up quite a bit. So... what I ended up doing was extending the HTMLSerializer (or whatever serializer you're using for your pipelines), and overriding the startPrefixMapping and endPrefixMapping methods to do nothing, effectively removing all namespaces from my HTML. This also had the added benefit of having no performance penalties (and theoretically, a ever-so-slight speedup since we no longer process namespaces in our serializer). You could make this more general, and use the serializer's configuration to declare which namespaces you want to exclude, but excluding all worked well for us, especially since we were outputting HTML.
