Re: with or without namespace

Rather than cluttering a stylesheet with conditional logic to handle two
different input variants, it's almost always better to configure a
pipeline in which you first (where necessary) convert the less common
variant to the more common, and then do the real transformation work on
normalized input.
One benefit is that the "normalizing" stylesheet is highly re-usable.

Hi,
I have a xslt2 stylesheet that transforms to (x)html, an XML document
type that comes in two flavors, both with the same "local-name"
elements, but with or without namespace.
For example, either:
... xmlns:xx="aaa.cc">
<xx:a>
<xx:b>bla</xx:b>
</xx:a>
...
or
...>
<a>
<b>bla</b>
</a>
...
To process these elements irrespective of their namespace, I can use
expressions like
*[local-name(.) = "a"] and *[local-name(.) = "b"]
all through the stylesheet but, in the stylesheet, I would much rather
map everything to the same namespace (possibly to default- or
no-namespace) and either use a single prefix, or better still, no
prefix, all over the stylesheet, to refer to all or any of these
elements.
/xx:a, /xx:b, or /a , /b, for example
What would be the best way to declare the stylesheet namespaces to
achieve this, if possible?
Thank you,
ac
