I am using msxml3 and am having difficulty parsing namespace elements, I need to get the value of the NSML fields

<roStorySend>

   <nsml:nsml xmlns:nsml=3D"http://www.inewsroom.com">

                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So here the URL is http://www.inewsroom.com.

    <nsml:head>
     <nsml:meta words=3D"1" rate=3D"180" break=3D"yes"></nsml:meta>
     <nsml:rgroup number=3D"2"></nsml:rgroup>
     <nsml:wgroup number=3D"6"></nsml:wgroup>
     <nsml:formname>TVNEWS-2            </nsml:formname>
     <nsml:storyid>1d60f5ad:003b5638:4a76334b</nsml:storyid>
    </nsml:head>
    <nsml:fields>
     <nsml:f id=3D"page-number"></nsml:f>
     <nsml:f id=3D"title">1130 AUSNET 030809</nsml:f>

[snip]

My stylesheet is:

<?xml version=3D"1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version=3D"1.0" =
xmlns:xsl=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" =
xmlns:nsml=3D"http://www.avid.com">

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ while here you use a completely different URL. You can choose a different prefix in the XML and in the stylesheet but in your stylesheet you will need to bind a prefix to the URL used in the XML if your stylesheet needs to select/match elements in that namespace. So use e.g. xmlns:nsml="ttp://www.inewsroom.com" in the stylesheet.

<xsl:template match=3D"/">

<xsl:for-each select=3D"//mosPayload/nsml:fields/f">

<xsl:for-each select="mos/roStorySend/mosExternalMetadata/mosPayload/nsml:nsml/nsml:fields/nsml:f">

should process the nsml:f elements in your XML input.
