names that mean hope
You do not need to do anything at that location,
"http:www.somthing.com/rule", But you need to tell XSLT processor where the
<rule:something> comes from, otherwise XSLT processor couldn't recognize
this element. That's why you need to declare it in the <xsl:stylesheet>
element. In my understanding, An XSLT processor uses the namespace
declaration to bind the prefix "rule" with the namespace
"http:www.something.com/rule", and uses the namespace and local name
"Choose" to locate the <Choose> element in source XML document. It doesn't
use the prefix and local name such as "rule:Choose" to locate the element.
If you do not declare namespace, then XSLT processor cannot resolve the
prefix "rule", therefore it cannot recognoze the element "rule:Choose" in
source document. That's why it complains "xmlns:rule not declared". Hope
this makes sense to you.

I think I tried it. But its worth giving it a try
again. Does

"http:www.somthing.com/rule"

have any significance. I mean do I really need to have
some thing at this location. I dont understand
namespaces well I think. So probably I am not
following what you are saying.
Thanks,
Abhi
