I am writing an XML conversion, part of which entails bringing things into the new namespace (from no namespace). I doubt that will work for you. Your input is in no namespace so any addressing you need of the input must be in no namespace, so the XPath default namespace should not be set to anything. I suspect it is because some elements are handled by an imported identity template. Although this can be worked around this represents an opportunity to get some clarification as to what the precise rules are as relates to default namespace specfications and imported stylesheets. There are no such rules regarding a relationship between default namespace specifications and imported stylesheets. Each stylesheet fragment is standalone. Any use of the XML default namespace or the XPath default namespace is in scope of only the stylesheet fragment. There is no knowledge between stylesheet fragments of the use of the namespaces in other fragments. And I suspect the identity template will not help you if you have to change the namespace for each element. When changing elements only by changing their namespaces, you need to reconstitute each element. I did this recently in a post on another thread: http://markmail.org/message/mah6pm52trp4cqrm ... where you can see I'm changing the namespace and hardwiring the poster's choice of prefix for that namespace. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . .
