Re: Confusing namespaces and xslt

When I added those modes I saw nothing in the output, i.e. it was
almost as if the template didn't match. When I removed them then I'd
get a match.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm guessing that the second will work
better for me since I can't be sure that items in the input xml will
always be in the same order.

Thanks!
