Alternatively, if you wanted to keep the namespace prefix limited to the
parent <item-info> element, you could use this right after creating the
<item-info> element:
<xsl:namespace name="ce">uri</xsl:namespace>

Dear Michael,
I added in xsl:stylesheet itself,

Ex: <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:ce="uri">

So I am getting the same (required), but namespace - xml:lang="en" added in
root element of output xml.

Regards,
Ramkumar

That's not well-formed XML (the ce namespace prefix is not declared), so it
can't be created using XSLT.
