RE: element with namespace

To match an element

<x xmlns="default.namespace.uri"/>

use:

<xsl:zzzzz select="prefix:x" xmlns:prefix="default.namespace.uri"/>

You need to match both the namespace and the local name, and the only
way to match a namespaced element in XPath is with a QName that has an
explicit prefix.
