Re: transforming elements with namespaces

I'll tell you what I did, which isn't pretty but it works.  I created a new
namespace, for instance tmp:, and used it.  When the transformation was done, I
did a textual replace on the file with the namespace you want (fo:).  It works
great for the processor, but it's ugly and you need to do some extra work
outside the Lotus processor.
