Details
Normally when a literal result element is
encountered in a template, the namespace used for the element name and attribute
names in the result document is the same as the namespace used in the
stylesheet. If a different namespace is wanted (e.g. because the result document
is a stylesheet using the XSLT namespace), then xsl:namespace-alias
can be used to define the mapping.
Examples
The following example allows the prefix outxsl to be used for
output elements that are to be associated with the XSLT namespace. It
assumes that both namespaces xsl and outxsl have
been declared and are in scope.
