Hi Mike,

At 01:03 PM 6/2/2004, you wrote:

I added the s: and the correct namespace to the stylesheet.
  xmlns:s="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim"
<xsl:apply-templates select="//s:leader" mode="get_records"/>

Everything ran fine.

I thought the namespace was 'marc:'.

No, "marc" may be the prefix assigned the namespace in some document; but namespace prefixes can be switched, as long as they resolve to the same URI.

This is a feature: the whole idea of namespaces is to allow us to avoid name collisions. If "marc" were wired to a tagset for MARC (the cataloging rules) what would MARC the Maryland commuter rail system do?

Cheers,
Wendell
