Templates carry their in-scope xmlns bindings into match patterns
(match cache keyed on pattern plus bindings) and instantiated
expressions, resolving prefixed name tests by namespace URI; with
bindings supplied an unprefixed test selects only the null namespace,
the XPath 1.0 rule. Instruction-scope capture includes the default
declaration: xsl:element honors in-scope xmlns="uri" for unprefixed
names, xmlns="" keeps them namespace-free, and an unusable created
name drops the wrapper, keeping content. Xalan baseline 263 -> 218
(namespace 41 -> 13).
A literal result element copies its in-scope namespace declarations to
the result per 7.1.1, minus the XSLT namespace and the namespaces of
prefixes listed in exclude-result-prefixes and
extension-element-prefixes in scope (#default included); an aliased
stylesheet namespace declares its result prefix and URI instead. The
fixup pass drops declarations that repeat an inherited binding so the
copied nodes do not redeclare per descendant, and created names reuse
stylesheet prefixes. xsl:output indent=yes switches to the Xalan
indentation form (own lines, no leading spaces). Xalan baseline
446 -> 371 (namespace 89 -> 42).
xsl:number implements all of XSLT 1.0 section 7.7: level
single/multiple/any with count and from matched as patterns through the
match cache, the value expression with the below-one bypass, and the
format-token engine (punctuation, separator and token reuse, zero
padding, alphabetic/roman/Greek sequences, digit grouping). An
unmatched single/multiple count renders empty; level=any always yields
a number. document() now caches per transform so repeated loads of the
same URI return the identical document and generate-id() stays unique
against live nodes (the idkey49 flake). Xalan baseline 557 -> 475
(numbering 84 -> 7).
xsl:attribute/xsl:element honor the namespace attribute and resolve
prefixed names against the instruction's in-scope stylesheet
declarations (captured at parse); xsl:copy applies use-attribute-sets;
and a namespace-fixup pass before serialization declares every
namespace a created name carries, reusing same-URI bindings or
generating ns0.. prefixes, and undeclares an inherited default that
would capture an unqualified name. Xalan baseline 604 to 557.
