xhtml and different namespace

Hello,

Ik have a strange problem with a document that I want to process. The document conforms to the XHTML dtd. The only thing I want to do is remove the DTD declaration and add a new top element. Although I set the output method to be xml, the document always is being returned as xhtml with the xhtml namespace.

I want to transform this resulting document (see below) with another xsl-t stylesheet.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Iisg source="biografie"><biography>
  <xhead>
    <meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" name="generator" content="HTML Tidy for Windows (vers 1st August 2002), see www.w3.org"/>
    <meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
    <link href="styles/bwsa.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>

    <title xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Piet Aalberse</title>
  </xhead>

  <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" bgcolor="#ffffff">
	<table>
		... more data to go here ...
	</table>
  </body>
</Iisg>

My problem is that the elements that have the namespace declaration as an attribute seem to have a prefix and therefore are not processed by my templates.

Something like match='title' doesn't work on a template while match="*[local-name() = 'title']" does. When I want to display the prefix (e.g. by <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(name(),':')" this doesn't return anything at all.

It looks like when I make a template for the body element like:

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

This doesn't seem to work because it looks like the table is part of another namespace as the body element. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I tried several processors and they all have sort of the same result, so I think that I'm the problem and not the processor ;-(

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

bjorn
