Hi Guys!

Your help will once again be very much appreciated!

I am trying to filter out subtrees using element namespaces. I cant seem to 
find any decent references
to this problem so I have had a go at it my self. Below are some code 
snippets of what I am trying to do.
But unfortunately not getting anywhere!

Essentially I am trying to use the namespace-uri() function to solve my 
problem in a fashion similar
to "attribute filtering":

select="NAME[namespace-uri()='http://www.monday.com/']/AGE"

Please can anyone with an idea of how to solve my problem raise their hand? 
Thanks again!

	<xsl:template match="EMPLOYEES">
		<xsl:apply-templates 
select="NAME[namespace-uri()='http://www.monday.com/']/AGE"/>
	</xsl:template>
