I'm having a hard time understanding your problem, so I have some

What are you trying to do in the large picture?  You say you're
generating RSS, and it looks like you're transforming an RSS document;
so:

	RSS --- XSL ---> RSS

and you want to copy the contents of the description from one RSS to
another.  Is that correct?

> The supposed solution[1] is to replace the xsl above with
>   <xsl:copy-of select="description/*"/>

Yes, that is what I'd recommend.  copy-of should preserve the
namespace, by the way, so if description is in the HTML namespace on
input, it should also be in that namespace on output.

Why is this a problem?  It didn't have the HTML namespace in the
original RSS, so why should it have the HTML namespace in the new RSS?

And what does this have to do with REXML?  So far, it looks like
you're discussion XSL issues.

At this point, I'm going to ignore the entire XSLT thread, because I
don't see how it is relevant to using REXML to generate XML.  Unless
you're generating RSS that is the /input/ to the XSLT, in which case,
we can still ignore the XSL, because all you care about is generating
valid RSS, and the transformation questions are a separate issue.

If the RSS spec requires you to place HTML content in the HTML
namespace, then you have to do that when generating the RSS.

Section 5.2 of the namespace specification says that all elements have
a namespace that is the default namespace of the parent; EG:

	<div xmlns='html'>
		<a/>
	</div>

the namespace of "a" is "html".  This means that "adding a
namespace or prefix to every element that is a child of description
that does not already have a namespace/prefix" isn't practical,
because elements inherit their namespace from their parent.  Either
there is a default namespace declared, or there isn't, and neither
case will help you filter elements the way you want to.


I doubt that I've answered any questions, because I don't think I
understood the question in the first place, but perhaps we can clarify
what exactly you're having trouble with.
