Subject: XSLT problem with xmlns

I'm trying to transform from an xml doc to another xml doc using xsl. For example

xml file:
<c>
<aa>
<a>
<nameid>123</nameid>
<dob>2005-10-10</dob>
</a>
</aa>
<bb>
<b>
<nameid>123</nameid>
<address>blah</address>
</b>
</bb>
</c>

xsl file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="/c">
<aa>
<a>
<xsl:copy-of select="aa/a/nameid"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="aa/a/dob"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="bb/b/nameid"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="bb/b/address"/>
</a>
</aa>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Now the above xml and xsl combination works. However, when the xml file has a tag with xmlns like the one below, it doesn't work anymore

<c xmlns="aaa">
<aa>
<a>
<nameid>123</nameid>
<dob>2005-10-10</dob>
</a>
</aa>
<bb>
<b>
<nameid>123</nameid>
<address>blah</address>
</b>
</bb>
</c>

Does anyone have any ideas why?

Thanks

The problem is that you are trying to match an element in namespace "aaa"
but using select again elements in the default namespace.

For a solution, read the XSLT FAQ.

See http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5536.html#d6682e1012 point #23.
