#66 Wrong namesp. with strip-space elements

[Torsten Bronger]

With the appended files minimal.xsl and minimal.xml,
the command "saxon minimal.xml minimal.xsl" produces

(book:
(section: (heading:Hallo!)
(p:(em:Look here) (em:and here)). ) )

but it should produce

(book:(section:(heading:Hallo!)(p:(em:Look here)
(em:and here)).
))

If you remove the namespace from the xsl:stylesheet
element, you get the correct result, however, it
mustn't have any effect.

Saxon is behaving correctly.

Please don't raise bug reports by making entries in this
section. As the information on the page makes clear, the
bugs section of this site is intended for confirmed bugs
only, not for suspected bugs.

When you say <xsl:strip-space element="section"/>,
the "section" is a QName that here refers to the element
with local name section in the default namespace. If the
default namespace in the stylesheet is different from the
default namespace in the source document, the name doesn't
match and therefore whitespace is not stripped.
