You need something like: <xsl:template match='html1:P |html2:P | html3:P'> </xsl:template> You can't just `use local names'. (Of course you could make one of the three the default and not use a prefixed form for that one) It appears that XHTML is defined as an application of XML 1.0 rather than XHTML 1.0 + namespaces, so it isn't at all clear why it has to have _any_ namespace allocated. In particular since conformance by DTD (with no pre-processing to normalise prefixes) is mandated, <html xmlns="..."> is GOOD, but <css:html xmlns:css="..."> which is totally equivalent to the above acording to the namespace REC, is BAD So XHTML distinguishes between equivalent forms of a document (according to the namespace REC) thus would be better described as an XML 1.0 application and not mention namespaces at all, wouldn't it?
