If I use a simple example xml and xslt without using a namespace
the values displayed are correct.
If I add a namespace to both the xml and xslt and break on the same location I get a value of <Symbol unknown>

If you break on line 19 in the xsl1.xsl file
and evaluate in:title, I see <Symbol unknown>

Why ?

xml1(1).xml
input xml file with namespace

xsl1.xsl
xslt using namespace

Hi Bill,

This is a defect. Here some possible workaround

- use a long form XPath expression like
*[local-name()='title' and namespace-uri() = 'bill/xyz']

- use a generic match like * then inspect the sub tree

Hope this helps

ok, its not pretty, but I also see the same symptom with variables

I changed the code to

1 <xsl:variable name="bill" select="in:title"/>
2 <tr>
3 <td><xsl:value-of select="$bill"/></td>
4 
5 <td><xsl:value-of select="in:artist"/></td>
6 <td><xsl:value-of select="in:price"/></td>
7 </tr>

if I break on line 6, and view $bill in the watch I see <Symbol unknown>

Also I do not see the bill variable in the Varibles tab ?

Most likely because Saxon does in-line local variables
