rdf0.9 to rss0.91 xslt and namespaces problem.

Hi all and sorry for last week HTML post, I should know better.

Anyway. I still have the same problem. [XML and XSL files follow at the end
of the message].
I think I have it pinpointed to a namespace problem :

This seems to work all right but is a workaround :

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml"/>


<xsl:template match="/">
  <rss>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="//*[local-name()='channel']" />
  </rss>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="channel"><channel>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//*[local-name()='image']" />
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//*[local-name()='item']"/>

</channel>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="image">
  <image>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </image>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

While this doesn't :

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <rss>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="channel" />
  </rss>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="channel"><channel>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//image" />
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//item"/>

</channel>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="image">
  <image>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </image>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
