Description

xsl:element adds namespace nodes as if it were a literal result element. This
is not correct. The following namespace conformances test are broken because
they rely on this behavior:

namespace55
namespace62
namespace68
namespace75
namespace80
namespace81
namespace82
namespace84
namespace90
namespace91
namespace92
namespace93
namespace94
namespace96
namespace97
namespace100

I have patched Xalan-C, so it would be great if we could get these conformance
tests fixed ASAP.

Here is a patch for Xalan-J:

cvs z9 diff ElemElement.java (in directory V:\xml
xalan\java\src\org\apache\xalan\templates)
