Description

Santiago Pericas-Geertsen discovered the following namspace problem
with Xalan.

Using the following stylesheet

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:variable name="x"><hello/></xsl:variable>

<xsl:element name="literalName" namespace="http://literaluri">
<xsl:copy-of select="$x"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Xalan outputs the following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<literalName xmlns="http://literaluri"><hello/></literalName>

But the correct output would be either

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><literalName
xmlns="http://literaluri"><hello xmlns=""/></literalName>

or

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns0:literalName xmlns:ns0="http://literaluri"><hello/></ns0:literalName>
