Sorry, this was worded a little too strongly.  It's true that you must have
a namespace declaration in the stylesheet if you are to explicitly match or
select elements from a particular namespace.  But you can always use a
wildcard such as * to select elements in any namespace, without needing a
namespace declaration for each.

Trying not to get to carried away,
