On Oracle v2.0.2.8, the stylesheet :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:template match="/|*">
  <xsl:for-each select="namespace::*">
   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 </xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
etc.

Using as input :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<rn:root xmlns:rn="rn-namespace">
</rn:root>

Gave : XSL-1035: Axis 'namespace' not found

I guess that's a 'No' then ! (I presume my test was valid though the error
suggests it didn't get that far.)

Would the local-name(),name() or namespace() methods give the results you
need, perhaps working up through the ancestor axis ?
