For all my arcane knowledge of XSLT, I don't think being able to recite the namespace by heart is something I can actually do. This is a bit of information scattered copiously throughout my brain-prostheses, but not securely stored in my actual head. Probably that'll bite me some day. (Now, were I to have to remember and get it wrong, a really friendly processor would tell me not only that no stylesheet was available, but also what namespace it was looking for.) I like that the binding isn't hard-coded. It makes it possible to switch prefixes around, which is sometimes useful and always a good lesson for XMLers, who need to understand at least the basics of namespaces. Cheers, Wendell
