HTML serializer and XHTML namespace

Hi all,

I've been trying to get the HTML serializer to work correctly when
explicitely specifying the XHTML namespace in my documents. This is
what I have in my sitemap:

    <map:match pattern="test.xml">
      <map:generate src="test/test.xml"/>
      <map:transform src="test/test.xsl"/>
      <map:serialize type="html"/>
    </map:match>

This is test.xml:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

   <test:document xmlns:test="http://bruchez.org/test">
     <test:entry>
       This is my paragraph.
     </test:entry>
   </test:document>

This is test.xsl:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

   <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
     xmlns:test="http://bruchez.org/test"
     exclude-result-prefixes="#default xhtml test">

     <xsl:template match="/">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="test:document"/>
     </xsl:template>

     <xsl:template match="test:document">
       <html>
	<body>
	  <p>
	    <xsl:value-of select="test:entry"/>
	  </p>
	  <br/>
	</body>
       </html>
     </xsl:template>

   </xsl:stylesheet>

This produces the following output, with which I'm pretty happy:

   <html>
   <body>
   <p>
   This is my paragraph.
     </p>
   <br>
   </body>
   </html>

I then changed test.xsl as follows (the only addition is
xmlns="..."):

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

   <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
     xmlns:test="http://bruchez.org/test"
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
     exclude-result-prefixes="#default xhtml test">

     <xsl:template match="/">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="test:document"/>
     </xsl:template>

     <xsl:template match="test:document">
       <html>
	<body>
	  <p>
	    <xsl:value-of select="test:entry"/>
	  </p>
	  <br/>
	</body>
       </html>
     </xsl:template>

   </xsl:stylesheet>

The output is now:

   <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
   <body>
   <p>
   This is my paragraph.
     </p>
   <br/>
   </body>
   </html>

It looks like the HTML serializer didn't work as I expected. My
questions are:

o is this a legitimate use of the XHTML namespace
o if so, is the observed behavior a bug?

Thanks,

-Erik
