Re: strip-spaces

<xsl:stylesheet

    xmlns:myns="..."
    version="2.0">

<namespace
	methods:myns="..."/>

Something like:

<xsl:template match="myns:@* | myns:*">
 <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node()"/>

<xsl:template match="*">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

This, of course, is a problem that language designers should consider.

I assume that namespaces, from my experience with xsd more than xsl,
are things that are meant to be observed by translators. I now begin
to wonder how I specify operations on elements in a particular name
space but from what Michael has said it seems they are simply
"syntactic sugar" to enable unique identification (avoid naming
conflicts) in single passes. Is there a way to specify that a style
sheet processes only the elements of a particular name space? I don't
think there is, but it sounds like something I could use for code
modularity.
