xsltc applies default namespace to both output elements in conf test namespace105

           Summary: xsltc applies default namespace to both output elements
                    in conf test namespace105
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xalan.xsltc
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tom.amiro@sun.com


According to Morten: 

XSLTC is incorrect while Xalan and Saxon are both correct. 
The element causing us hassle is: 

   <xsl:element namespace="" name="foo" xmlns="other.com">
      <yyy/>
   </xsl:element>

The namespace="" attribute sets the namespace for the output <foo> element to
the null namespace (empty URI), while the default
namespace - which should be applied to the <yyy> element - is set to
"other.com". XSLTC incorrectly applies the "other.com" to both the
output elements. 

Here's a little test session that shows what Xalan does and what XSLTC does:

Running xalan on namespace105
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<out xmlns="testguys.com"><foo xmlns=""><yyy xmlns="other.com"/></foo></out>


Running XSLTC with Xerces Parser on namespace105
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<out xmlns="testguys.com"><foo xmlns="other.com"><yyy/></foo></out>
