template


If you put the test element in the same namespace as its parent, then
the
xmlns="" will not appear. It's there because you asked for the test
element
to be in no namespace.

Either write

<test xmlns="http://www.amfam.com/xsd/message/rateprocessingservice/v3">

in your stylesheet, or move the default namespace declaration up to the
xsl:stylesheet level.
