difference between xsl:element and..

[Cruisy]

what is the difference between using
<xsl:element name=&quot;tagname&quot;>
...
</xsl:element>

and

<tagname>
...
</tagname>

I ask this because i get different outputs from these usages.

help would be much appreciated

Just use xsl:element to maintain the default XSL namespace

so if i want to overide the default xsl namespace i not should use :

<xsl:element name=&quot;xsd:schema&quot;>
<xsl:attribute name=&quot;xmlns:xsd&quot;>

http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema

</xsl:attribute>
...
</xslelement>

but use the short version?

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema&quot;>

I try'd this and this works , but this gives alot more problems later on in my xsl.
for some reason is skips some tests when i don't use the xsl:element tag.. (have not found out why)

is there no way in overriding the default namespace while using xsl:element? I'm using the Xalan parcer and this parcer does just ignore the fact that i put :

<xsl:attribute name=&quot;xmlns:xsd&quot;>

http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema

</xsl:attribute>

it just uses the default (1999 namespace)

I would think that xsl:element gives you the ability to create dynamic tags, just like xsl:attribute creates dynamic attributes.
