try adding

xmlns:p="urn://www.photoparata.com/events.xsd" to xsl:stylesheet then
use

/p:element/p:otherelement

(unprefixed names in xpath 1, are like unprefixed attribute names and refer
to no-namespace.)

If you are using xslt2 you have the new option of using unprefixed names
in xpaths and instead setting default-xpath-namespace=... on your
xsl:stylesheet.
