[Using Namespace in XSL to generate XSL from Docbook]

 Bob>     xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.0">

That leaves me with the top level element
<book xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">, where the
xmlns:xlink attribute  is not declared in the DTD.  What I do have in
the DTD is:

<!ATTLIST xref
               %commonattr;
               xmlns:xlink   CDATA    #FIXED  "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"  
               xlink:type    (simple | extended | resource | locator | arc | title | none) #IMPLIED
               xlink:href    CDATA    #REQUIRED

So I think I can skip the xmlns declaration in the top level element.
Is there an XSL way to do it?  Using sed might not be that
appropriate...

[deleted], yes that works.  Thanks for your help.

 Bob> This works with xsltproc and saxon.

I do use xsltproc for now.
