Questions about xslt issues are best asked on the Mulberry xslt
discussion list at
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
The reason you cannot "copy" the namespace declaration is that
technically it is not an attribute in the xpath model, so an attempt to
"copy" a namespace declaration as an attribute cannot succeed. However,
you need only to declare the namespace in the xslt stylesheet - you can
put the declaration into the xsl:stylesheet element. So just add
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
to the namespace declarations in the stylesheet element and all should
be well.
