Re: Namespace conflicts processing Word documents

<xsl:template name="make-h1">
  <xsl:param name="contents">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:param>
  <h1>
    <xsl:copy-of select="$contents"/>
  </h1>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="w:p[w:pPr[w:pStyle[@w:val='Heading1']]]">
  <xsl:call-template name="make-h1"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="w:p[w:pPr[w:pStyle[@w:val='Heading1']]]]" mode="special>
  <xsl:call-template name="make-h1">
    <xsl:with-param name="contents">
      <xsl:apply-templates mode="special"/>
    </xsl:with-param>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

Right, so I can have two otherwise identical stylesheets, one declaring the WordML w: namespace and the other declaring the OOXML w: namespace, with both using the identical
<xsl:template match="w:p[w:pPr[w:pStyle[@w:val='Heading1']]]">
<h1><xsl:apply-templates/></h1>
</xsl:template>
but I can't have a shell stylesheet for each namespace which both import/include the template code from a common (shared) file, because (a) namespaces don't get inherited into imports/includes, and (b) the common file will necessarily lack any namespace declaration for w: and will therefore not be well-formed.

OK. So long as I wasn't missing a trick there.

What I think you are missing is that an XSLT stylesheet has no obligation to use the same prefix as another XSLT stylesheet or any XML document being used as a source file.

Except that when it comes to process the document, the declared namespace URI (IRI) must be the same in both the stylesheet and the document.

I was hoping to do without preprocessing, but as this is all in Cocoon anyway, pipelining it isn't really a problem.
