The so.. doesn't follow as I was talking about ignoring stuff in the
stylesheet. You are talking about ignoring stuff in the source tree.

Er you do exactly what you put there!

If you have (eg on the xsl:stylesheet element, but anywhere
else will do as long as this attribute is in scope)

xmlns:rtf="the://namespace/uri/for/rtf"

then your select expression above will select elements with 
the name Element-X and namespace the://namespace/uri/for/rtf
even if in your source document a different prefix is used
for the://namespace/uri/for/rtf (or no prefix at all if it is the
default namespace)
