Hai All,

Is exclude-result prefixes also applicable to attributes? But the
xlink namespace is populated in the blow example even when we have
used exclude-result-prefixes="xlink" in the <stylesheet>

Here is the example:

input:
<cross-ref refid="aff1">

XSL:

	<xsl:template match="cross-ref | cross-refs">
		<xsl:element name="xref">
			<xsl:attribute name="xlink:href">
				<xsl:value-of select="@refid"/>
			</xsl:attribute>
			<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</xsl:element>
	</xsl:template>


output from XSL:
<xref xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="aff1">

required output:

<xref xlink:href="aff1">

How to eliminate namespace prefix in the output?

Regards,
Ganesh
