[xquery-talk] Omit namespace attributes in output file

[xquery at docbook-autor.de]

 Hi,

I’m transforming some DocBook data into an XML file using XQuery. The
transformation works perfectly so far.

My problem is, that I have to use some confluence namespace tags like
<ac:emoticon ac:name=“warning” /> in the XML output file.

So I have to declare the respective namespace at the beginning of my
XQuery file:

###
xquery version "1.0" encoding "utf-8";

declare namespace db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
declare namespace saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/";
declare namespace ac="https://www.atlassian.com/schema/confluence/6/ac";

declare option saxon:output "version=1.0";
declare option saxon:output "omit-xml-declaration=yes";
declare option saxon:output "indent=yes";
###

Because of the namespace declaration for "ac" at the beginning the
transformation results in this:

###
<ac:emoticon xmlns:ac="https://www.atlassian.com/schema/confluence/6/ac"
ac:name="warning"/>
###

Without this declaration the transformation stops with an error message
that a declaration for namespace “ac” is missing.

Is it possible to omit the xmlns:ac attribute somehow?

Thanks in advance!

Regards
Michael
