Re: Need to copy all child elements of a parent element

Hi Ajay,

If the XML is valid, I don't see how you can have SwInt1 prefix without 
declaring the SwInt1 namespace in your source XML. That namespace prefix 
is being used in the XML, so it should be declared.

XSLT will of course complain about SwInt1 not being defined. Both Xalan 
and my version of Altova XMLSpy complain.

If you were to add a declaration of the SwInt1 namespace to the source 
XML, then the XSLT would work as expected.
