Re: multiple documents, namespaces and the same struct

Well this gave me the direction I needed, but here is the implementation as
callable templates:

<xsl:for-each select="//commercial:business/commercial:us.address">
	<xsl:call-template name="format.address">
		<xsl:with-param name="address.node" select="."/>
	</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>

notice I don't need the local-name() stuff here because this particular 
stylesheet is only dealing with the information from "commercial" 

so the template looks like:

<xsl:template name="format.address">
<xsl:param name="address.node"/>

<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>

<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$address.node/@address.type='street'">
	    <!-- Do nothing in this case -->
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="$address.node/@address.type='ship'">
	<tr>
	    <td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
	    <td colspan="3">
		<span class="{$subheading}">Shipping Address</span>
	    </td>
	</tr>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="$address.node/@address.type='mail' and normalize-space(.) != ''">
	<tr>
	    <td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
	    <td colspan="3">
		<span class="{$subheading}">Mailing Address</span>
	    </td>
	</tr>
    </xsl:when>
	</xsl:choose>

    <xsl:call-template name="test.and.print">
	<xsl:with-param name="label">Street address:</xsl:with-param>
	<xsl:with-param name="value" select="$address.node/*[local-name(.)='street'][1]"/>
    </xsl:call-template>

    <xsl:call-template name="test.and.print">
	<xsl:with-param name="label">Street address 2:</xsl:with-param>
	<xsl:with-param name="value" select="$address.node/*[local-name(.)='street'][2]"/>
    </xsl:call-template>

    <xsl:call-template name="test.and.print">
	<xsl:with-param name="label">City:</xsl:with-param>
	<xsl:with-param name="value" select="$address.node/*[local-name(.)='city']"/>
    </xsl:call-template>

    <xsl:call-template name="test.and.print">
	<xsl:with-param name="label">State:</xsl:with-param>
	<xsl:with-param name="value" select="$address.node/*[local-name(.)='state']"/>
    </xsl:call-template>

    <xsl:call-template name="test.and.print">
	<xsl:with-param name="label">ZIP:</xsl:with-param>
	<xsl:with-param name="value">
	    <xsl:value-of select="$address.node/*[local-name(.)='zip']/@main"/>
	    <xsl:if test="$address.node/*[local-name(.)='zip']/@sub != ''">-<xsl:value-of select="$address.node/*[local-name(.)='zip']/@sub"/>
	    </xsl:if>
	</xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

It is here in this template that I need to capture the element name seperate
from the prefixed value so this is where the local-name() is really required
because I have address info coming from documents with several different 
namespaces/prefixes.

notice the one little twist for the use of street, this is actually a repeating 
element in our address model.

thanks again.
