Re: xsl: parsing through specific child nodes

So I tried various things but it doesn't seem to be working. I'll give
the complete information:

1. xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Msg xmlns:ns2="http://www.abc.com/wsdl/v">
<Msg>
               <cid>103850015_0_1219420995471</cid>
               <fid>41</fid>
               <filing>IS</filing>
               <State>PENDING</State>
            </Msg>
</Msg>

2. xsl file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
exclude-result-prefixes="xmlns:ns2 ns2 xmlns">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:variable name="file2" select="document('EFF')" />
<xsl:key name='PENDING' match='Msg' use='./State'/>
<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="not(//State='PENDING')
                and not(//State='SUCCEDED')">
       <ret>
          <xsl:copy-of select="//ret/*" />
       </ret>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="not($file2//State='PENDING')
                and not($file2//State='SUCCEDED')">
       <ret>
          <xsl:copy-of select="$file2//ret/*" />
       </ret>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="//ret"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ret">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
 <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="text()='PENDING'">
             <xsl:text>1</xsl:text>
     </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:copy-of select="." />
   </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

3. Output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Msg xmlns:ns2="http://www.abc.com/wsdl/v">
<Msg>
               <cid>103850015_0_1219420995471</cid>
               <fid>41</fid>
               <filing>IS</filing>
               <State>PENDING</State>
            </Msg>
</Msg>

4.expected output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Msg>
               <cid>103850015_0_1219420995471</cid>
               <fid>41</fid>
               <filing>IS</filing>
               <State>1</State>
            </Msg>
</Msg>


First I don't understand how there are 2 Msg nodes. And second I
wasn't able to get rid of namespace node by using <element> as
suggested by Michael, it's still copying the namespace node.
