Description

The following sample document is my test case:

Using Xalan-J 2.5.1 docbook 1.61.3 (the latest version) stylesheets I get
variants of the following:

<a ="" target="_top">http://xml.apache.org/xalan</a>

Basically the href attribute name and value, don't exist. If I make the
following change (remove xmlns declaration) to docbook/xhtml/xref.xsl:

748c748
< <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
—
> <a>

then I get a valid, with the exception of the empty xmlns attribute, 'a' element:

<a xmlns="" href="http://xml.apache.org/xalan"
target="_top">http://xml.apache.org/xalan</a>

Unfortunately the empty xmlns craps out Mozilla, but that's another bug for
another project.
