exclude-result-prefixes doesn't exclude "xml" prefix

[Andreas Hartmann]

Hi Xalan community,

about my setup: Cocoon 2.1.12-dev with Xalan 2.7.1
I'm having trouble getting rid of the 
xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"; declarations in my 
output. Here's the corresponding part of the stylesheet:


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" [...]
  exclude-result-prefixes="[...] xml">

  <xsl:template match="col:document[xhtml:html]">
    <item>
      <title><meta:value element="title" 
ns="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"; uuid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 
lang="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:lang}"/></title>
      ...
    </item>
  </xsl:template>


As you can see, the original element contained an xml:lang attribute:

  <col:document xml:lang="en"/>


Unfortunately, the xmlns:xml declaration shows up in the output. 
exclude-result-prefixes doesn't seem to have any effect:


    <item xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace";>
      <title>
         OpenExpo 2008
      </title>
      ...
    </item>


Any hints about how to get rid of the declarations are very welcome, 
since IE doesn't accept them in the RSS feed.

Thanks a lot in advance!
