xmlns="" is generated if use Saxon 9.8.0.15 with DITA-OT 3.3.1
0%
Description
I'm not sure whether this cause is Saxon or not. But DITA-OT developers has no reply about this issue on GitHub.
[Steps to reproduce]
- Download DITA-OT 3.3.1 from https://www.dita-ot.org/download . This version bundles Saxon-HE 9.8.0.14 as its XSLT processor (dita-ot-3.3.1/lib).
- Open command window at dita-ot-3.3.1.
- Enter "bin/dita --install".
This command makes normal catalog file:
D:\DITA-OT\dita-ot-3.3.1\plugins\org.dita.base\catalog-dita.xml

</catalog>
- Remove dita-ot-3.3.1\lib\Saxon-HE-9.8.0-14.jar and copy Saxon-HE(or PE) 9.8.0.15's .jar into lib folder.
- Enter "bin/dita --install" command again.
- The catalog file is generated but with redundant xmlns="" . As a result, all of the DITA-OT build attempts fails because catalog file is invalid.

I have users who needs Saxon-PE with the newest DITA-OT. However, both Saxon-PE 9.9.1 and Saxon-PE 9.8.15 does not work with DITA-OT 3.3.1. This is very confusing.

I have reproduced the problem, but it's difficult to debug since it involves understanding a lot of DITA shell script and ant code, neither of which are languages that are easy to debug.
Looking at what changed between 9.8.0.14 and 9.8.0.15, a strong possibility is that we fixed bug #3889, and DITA was dependent on the incorrect behaviour of Saxon before that bug was fixed.
If that theory is correct, then it will need someone who knows DITA a lot better than I do to identify what DITA change is needed to make this work.

Please close this ticket.
The cause is DITA-OT code bug. Not Saxon.
