Re: Can't make template match root element with schema

Hi Mr. Piez,
     To make it more clear,

I understand when you say

"Step 2 does nothing useful: it only adds a namespace declaration for a
prefix that
is never used there."

you only mean the prefix is not necessary. The "xmlns="
http://ns.hr-xml.org/2004-08-02" namespace specification itself is needed.

This is very helpful and quite correct, except in a couple of details.
Really, only steps 1 and 3 are necessary: add a namespace declaration to
your stylesheet that assigns a prefix to the namespace of the elements in
your source, which are already bound to the
"http://ns.hr-xml.org/2004-08-02" namespace -- which is why they don't
currently match -- (this is step 3 above), and then use the prefix whenever

you refer to elements in this namespace in your stylesheet (step 1). Step 2

does nothing useful: it only adds a namespace declaration for a prefix that

is never used there.

Also, strictly speaking the namespace declarations (the "xmlns" thingies)
aren't attributes, and shouldn't be called attributes even though they look

just like them. This is because although they are expressed as attributes
syntactically, they don't turn up as attributes in the data model.

Cheers,
Wendell
