Yep. Thats why I suggested he use nodeset on the copy-of. For interest are 
there any prcoessors that do not have support a nodeset function yet?

I am exploiting the fact that I know exactly what the RTF looks like because I 
created it in the variable. Therefore I know the namspace node is the only 
one and its at position one of the first element. I don't think there is any 
way this can be wrong in a 1.0 conforming processor. Having said that your 
solution will clearly be more resiliant to anybody hacking the variable 
around.
