If you are accessing the source document with something like <xsl:stylesheet ... xmlns:foo="http://example.org/ns"> ... <xsl:value-of select="/content/foo:widget"/> ... </xsl:stylesheet> then you'll get the <widget> child element in the namespace whose URI is "http://example.org/ns", regardless of what prefix is used in the source document to refer to that namespace. >From Kay, 2nd Ed., p. 66: "Two names are considered equal if they have the same local part [i.e. 'widget'] and the same namespace URI [i.e. 'http://example.org/ns']. ... The prefix of a name is arbitrary in that it does not affect comprison of names..." Lars XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
