XML Transformation - Migration from JDK 1.4 to JDK 1.6

Question

Hi all,
I am switching from JDK 1.4 to JDK 1.6 but my XSLT transformations are outputting different XML (although structurally sound). JDK 1.6 outputs the namespaces for each element rather than placing them at the top level node.
I've included the settings and the code below. I expect that there is a feature or a way to handle this but I have not been able to find it now for several days.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Paul

Can you post relevant pieces of your input document and the xsl?
