What do you mean by "strips namespaces"? Are there *no* namespace declarations in the resulting document? That's very odd if that is the case, since xsl:copy-of should pass any namespaces through--so although you won't have all of your pre-existing namespaces still intact on the root element, you'll still get them on other elements. And given that this is the effect--i.e., the stylesheet you have created is actually *designed* to remove namespaces (except for 'x') from the root element!--in what sense do you see it as "atypical". Do you have a particular use case in mind? So, two questions: * are you really losing all namespace declarations from the document, or do you just mean that they have been removed from the root element?; * why do you see it as a common need to write a stylesheet that very consciously removes all namespace declarations from the root element?
