Re: Using XSLT as a namespace filter...

       <xsl:template match="foo:*">
           <xsl:copy >
               <xsl:call-template name="textAndattributes" />
               <xsl:apply-templates />
           </xsl:copy>
       </xsl:template>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<A xmlns="http://foo.org/ns/foo" xmlns:foo="http://foo.org/ns/foo"
   xmlns:thing="http://www.thing.net/thing/1.1"
   name="rootElement">
   <B name="woo" type="otherXML">
    </B>
   <C name="site_netCode">
      <d name="outside"/>
      <foo:d name="inside">inside's text node</foo:d>
   </C>
   <C name="site_netCode">
      <d name="outside"/>
      <d name="anotherOutside">another's text node</d>
   </C>
</A>

Its usually better to post _actual_ results, so we don't all have to wonder
whether you intended to change name="wooStuff" to name="WCS".

Solution:

The previously posted transform works correctly to "band-pass" only elements from a particular namespace. The example inputs I previously provided were flawed.

Transform:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:foo="http://foo.org/ns/foo" >
<xsl:output method='xml' version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' indent='yes'/>

       <xsl:template match="foo:*">
           <xsl:copy >
               <xsl:call-template name="textAndattributes" />
               <xsl:apply-templates />
           </xsl:copy>
       </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*"><xsl:apply-templates /></xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|text()" />

<xsl:template name="textAndattributes" ><xsl:copy-of select="text()|@*" /></xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


Source Document:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<A name="rootElement" xmlns="http://foo.org/ns/foo" xmlns:foo="http://foo.org/ns/foo ">

   <B name="wooStuff" type="otherXML">
       <W xmlns="http://foo.org/ns/woo" >Some Stuff</W>
       <W xmlns="http://foo.org/ns/woo" >Some more stuff</W>
   </B>

   <C name="site_netCode">
       <d name="outside" />
       <Thing1 xmlns="http://www.thing.net/thing/1.1" >
           <foo:d name="inside">inside's text node</foo:d>
       </Thing1>
   </C>
   <C name="site_netCode">
       <d name="outside" />
       <d name="inside">inside's text node</d>
   </C>

</A>



Correct Result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<A xmlns="http://foo.org/ns/foo" xmlns:foo="http://foo.org/ns/foo" name="rootElement">
<B name="WCS" type="otherXML">
</B>
<C name="site_netCode">
<d name="outside"/>
<foo:d xmlns="http://www.thing.net/thing/1.1" name="inside">inside's text node</foo:d>
</C>
<C name="site_netCode">
<d name="outside"/>
<d name="inside">inside's text node</d>
</C>
</A>
