Subject: How do I force the XSLT processor to retain a namespace declaration despite an ancestor element having that same namespace declaration?

Hi Folks,

When this is evaluated:

    <test xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <inner xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" type="xs:string"
/>
    </test>

The output is this:

    <test xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
        <inner type="xs:string" />
    </test>

Notice that the namespace declaration on <inner> is gone.

How do I force the XSLT processor to retain that namespace declaration and not
discard it? (I am passing the <inner> element to other functions that don't
have access to its surrounding elements, so I need that namespace declaration
retained.)

/Roger
