[xquery-talk] how to copy namespaces to root tag (to avoid repetition)

[Robby Pelssers]

Yeah.. that's a simple approach that will work (was my first approach actually) but it will give me much more maintenance (and typing).  To be honest... this really sounds like a hot feature and it's hard to believe this is not supported.

I suggest a simpler approach is to simply predecease all namespaces on your root node.
The serializer then will (should) omit redundant namespace declarations on child nodes.

Hi all,

I've setup a small test case and was trying to see the effect of the copy-namespaces instruction.
What I am trying to achieve is to have the root tag (in this case rdf:RDF) declare all used namespaces so that the result of the XQuery becomes much  smaller for big result sets.

Any pointers on how to achieve this?

Thx in advance,
Robby
