XSLTForms.xsl transform drops the XHTML namespace about xsltforms HOT 2 OPEN

XHTML support in browsers is not good nowadays so its elimination was effectively intentional.

Modifying xsltforms.xsl for producing XHTML as before should not be a problem but, luckily, your proposed workaround with XProc looks great!

Thanks Alain!

For me, the value of the xmlns is in clarity of processing mixed-namespace markup server side, and in being able to reuse stylesheets I already have which target XHTML. I can post-process the output of XSLTForms.xsl, though, so that's not actually a problem.

I am curious about the XHTML issues you refer to though:

Do you have any pointers to more (and current) information? I have done some Googling but I've found mostly web pages dating from ancient times. I usually rely on caniuse.com to tell me what's safe to use, and it's pretty reassuring about XHTML served as application/xhtml+xml. I haven't had any trouble with it, myself.
