OK. Lets say that we have content that uses two namespaces. Content can
be edited through a CMS schema validating edit tool and uses a
proprietary schema and proprietary namespace as well as XHTML's
namespace. The schema for content pieces is basically XHTML, minus DIV
and SPAN and all structural elements. The schema includes miscellaneous
elements in the proprietary namespace. (Multiple content pieces can be
assigned to a 'page' in defined regions.)
When the page needs to be transformed to (X)HTML, you could do identity
transforms on the elements in the XHTML namespace. When transforming the
content in the proprietary namesapce you could do something like:
<xsl:template match="c:*">
<div class="{local-name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="c:poll">
<jsp:scriptlet>
if (doSubmit) {
submit poll answers...
}
</jsp:scriptlet>
<form>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</form>
</xsl:template>
<etc/>
In other words, I have some of the content in a namespace that can be
handled easily one way and I have content in another namspace that needs
to be handled in multiple different ways.
How would you deal with this in a 'sane' way (which I assume means
getting rid of the namespaces)? Would it be better?
