Question about element-available()

[Mingfei Peng <mf...@excite.com>]

It seems that Xalan(both Xalan-J and Xalan-C) doesn't accept prefix in
element-available function, I write an XSL file inluding something like the
following:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
...
   <xsl:if test="not(element-available('xsl:if'))">
   ...
   </xsl:if>
...

Xalan reports:
Error! ElemTemplateElement error: Can not resolve namespace prefix: xsl.

If I use element-available('if'), there will be no error message for
Xalan-C. But I remember the older version of Xalan-C seems to accept this.
Saxon also accept it.

Do I need to add something more to the XSL file?

I've just committed a CVS update for XalanJ2.  This should now be
working there if you build from the latest CVS.
