RE: XPATH for attribute with different namespace from

The following template in doesn't match properly:

	<xsl:template match="rdf:RDF/channel/@rdf:about">
		<xsl:value-of select="current()"/>
	</xsl:template>

...because it identifies channel elements from NO NAMESPACE, not the
default namespace. You need to bind a prefix to the default namespace
and use it in front of channel.
