Don't you? Yes, I stand corrected on both points. I'm just disappointed in that there's no way to define a default namespace for references to source tree elements. Of course, I realize that such an implementation would require a mechanism for references to source tree elements that have no namespace associations. The obvious solution would be to associate a prefix with an empty namespace, but the Namespaces in XML spec prohibits this (...why?) http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#dt-prefix XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
