My take on that was that the rational intent of exclusive C14N was not to emit such a namespace. One reason is simply the difficulty of computing such a fact. If I had used an XSLT example with attribute values being XPath expressions then precisely which namespaces are being used there is non-trivial to tell. I suspect if one wanted to supported XSLT in the full, (including element content) then the question of which namespace prefixes were being (invisibly) used may even be Turing complete! I found the choices made in the two specs on this issue quite understandable. Jeremy
