Description

The main issue is that in the input document the namespace xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/" is declared on the root element. The transformed XML does not have that value. Using Xalan-J both input and output doc have the namespace declaration. Thus the resultant document from Xalan-C produces a malformed XML document

Input:
<map xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"
title="MakeDoc's example demo/BE"
ditaarch:DITAArchVersion="1.1"
domains="(map mapgroup-d) (topic indexing-d)"
class="- map/map "
xtrf="c:\Pike\dita_problem\trialBE\dita\trialProjects.ditamap"
xtrc="map:1">
