Description kbuchcik 2006-05-10 20:20:21 UTC 
If using xsl:namespace-alis, the XSLT 1.0 processors Saxon 6.5.3, Xalan and
Libxslt will use the prefix specified in @stylesheet-prefix for the
result. 

Example:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform-alias"
  exclude-result-prefixes="axsl xsl">
  
  <xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="axsl" result-prefix="xsl"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">    
    <axsl:stylesheet version="1.0"/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Result:

<axsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"/>

Since MSXML 4, MSXML .NET and XSLT 2.0 processors like Saxon 8.1.1 will
process this correctly, we should consider fixing this, or provide a way
for the user - via a processor-option - to specify if such a "strict"
processing is needed.
Comment 1 kbuchcik 2006-06-19 16:07:43 UTC 
In the refactored code this will produce:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"/>
Comment 2 kbuchcik 2006-08-10 14:08:14 UTC 
Mark this bug as fixed when the refactored code paths are enabled.
Comment 3 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 11:00:09 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
