The no-preserve and no-inherit options affect the namespaces acquired by
a newly constructed element node. But your query isn't constructing a
new element node, it is selecting an existing one. When you select an
existing node, you get that node as is, and the node you have selected
has these two namespaces in scope. To get rid of them, you will have to
construct a new element that is the same as the original except for its
namespaces.

Hi,
I have this document:
<AppConfig xmlns:paf="http://ncbi.gov/portal/paf";
xmlns:qs="http://ncbi.gov/portal/paf/querystring";>
<AppController foo='bar'>
<fleegle/>
</AppController>
</AppConfig>
which I'm processing with this XQuery:
xquery version "1.0";
declare copy-namespaces no-preserve, no-inherit;
doc("AppConfig.xml")//AppController/fleegle
and I'm getting this as output from Saxon PE 9.3:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fleegle xmlns:paf="http://ncbi.gov/portal/paf";
xmlns:qs="http://ncbi.gov/portal/paf/querystring"/>
But I want to get rid of the unused namespace nodes, and I thought
"no-preserve" should do it.
I found an email message from Michael Kay in Apr. 7, 2005, on the
saxon help list, in which he wrote:
The basic functionality of copying an element without copying its
namespaces
is there in the product (and used in XSLT) but it's not yet wired
up to the syntax
of the query prolog. Sorry.
Is it still not implemented, or am I doing something wrong?
Can anybody tell me whether or not this is supported in Zorba?
Thanks!
