More namespace fun?

Just to see what the ns axis is all about...

Sprinkle a few namespaces into an xml file,
and run the following stylesheet using saxon.
To find out why the prefix is useful,
remove the exclude-result prefixes line :-)
For the curious but lazy, I include
a dummy file at the end.
