Package: docbook-xsl-ns Version: 1.75.2+dfsg-3 Severity: normal When processing certain types of files with the XHTML stylesheets using Xalan or Saxon (but not xsltproc), results in unneeded xmlns:saxon namespace attributes. This is a problem since those attributes are prohibited by the XHTML DTDs, and this leakage prevents the XHTML from validating. This does not occur with html/html.xsl; I have not tested xhtml-1_1/html.xsl, but it has the same code.
Adding xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon"; to the root element and inserting "saxon" into the exclude-result-prefixes attribute seems to solve this problem. A testcase is attached. It can be run with: java -cp /usr/share/java/xalan2.jar:/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -out testcase.xhtml -in testcase.xml -xsl /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl-ns/xhtml/docbook.xsl or java -cp /usr/share/java/saxon.jar com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o testcase.xhtml testcase.xml /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl-ns/xhtml/docbook.xsl -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages docbook-xsl-ns depends on: ii xml-core 0.13 XML infrastructure and XML catalog Versions of packages docbook-xsl-ns recommends: ii docbook-xsl-doc-html [docbook 1.75.2-1 stylesheets for processing DocBook ii docbook5-xml 5.0-2 standard XML documentation system Versions of packages docbook-xsl-ns suggests: pn dbtoepub <none> (no description available) ii docbook-xsl-saxon 1.00.dfsg.1-4 Java extensions for use with DocBo ii fop 1:0.95.dfsg-7 XML to PDF Translator ii libsaxon-java 1:6.5.5-5 The Saxon XSLT Processor ii libxalan2-java 2.7.1-5 XSL Transformations (XSLT) process pn xalan <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
