Automatic insert of xmlns:xsl during XSLT transformation

Question

I am using the xmlparserv2.jar of dated "12/10/00" to perform a XSLT transformation. I need to insert a xml:space="preserve" attribute to a generated tag. However, there is an addition attribute added : xmlns:xml="http://www.w3/org/XML/1998/namespace". How can I suppress the generation of this attribute ?
Here is my XML :
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'no'?>
<COLDdoc>
<Page template="bkgnd1" num="1">
<Line num="1"> CN011A021C 1A021</Line>
<Line num="2"> 1954.90 7713.36</Line>
</Page>
</COLDdoc>
My XSL is :
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="no" doctype-system="svg-20000303-stylable.dtd"/>
<xsl:template match="Line">
<text>
<xsl:attribute name="x">0</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="y">
<xsl:value-of select="@num*10"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="xml:space">preserve</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The result XSLT Transformation :
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE text SYSTEM "svg-20000303-stylable.dtd">
<text x="0" y="10" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3/org/XML/1998/namespace" xml:space="preserve"> CN011A021C 1A021</text>
<text x="0" y="20" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3/org/XML/1998/namespace" xml:space="preserve"> "> 1954.90 7713.36</text>

Hi Greg,
please try it with the following (just slightly) modified transformation (works fine for me):
<xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
               xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml"
               xmlns:sap="http://www.sap.com/sapxsl"
               version="1.0">
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
  <xsl:template match="/PEXR2002/IDOC">
    <asx:abap version="1.0">
      <asx:values>
        <HEADER_DATA>
          <SNDPRN>
            <xsl:value-of select="EDI_DC40/SNDPRN"/>
          </SNDPRN>
          <BGMREF>
            <xsl:value-of select="E1IDKU1/BGMREF"/>
          </BGMREF>
          <MOABETR>
            <xsl:value-of select="E1IDKU5/MOABETR"/>
          </MOABETR>
          <CREDAT>
            <xsl:value-of select="EDI_DC40/CREDAT"/>
          </CREDAT>
          <DATUM>
            <xsl:value-of select="E1EDK03/DATUM"/>
          </DATUM>
        </HEADER_DATA>
      </asx:values>
    </asx:abap>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
I recommend to test all transformations that you define on a sample source and check the output. If you apply your original transformation you would see that it basically doesn't select anything and therefore you just get an XML document with the field names but no values.
