Does namespace-alias work in Xalan?

Hi there,

I can't seem to get the <xsl:namespace-alias> tag to work with Xalan-J
(2.4.1), it seems to work in Microsoft's XML parser. Is this a known
limitation or am I doing something wrong.

Thx in advance,
Mark

Hi Mark,

It should work.  Can you provide a small input document with expected
output and the output you get? Since you're not generating a stylesheet
element, the resulting stylesheet won't be legal.  Also, any xsl:element
instruction would be missing its name attribute, so that's going to be a
problem as well.

By the way, relative namespace URIs, like "x" are deprecated and should not
be used.
