You cannot access it directly.  What you have to do is to declare that
namespace in the stylesheet but give it a prefix, like "ap".  In your
templates, when you want the "unprefixed" apple element, you call it
"ap:apple".  In other words, the unprefixed elements in the xml file are in
fact in a namespace.  You just have to make that namespace explicit in the
stylesheet.
