Re: [xsl] Q: Stripping ns from source tree?

Hi Francis,

Ok, looks interesting. Trying that next. Here is what I've got so far
(on my own).

I changed the namespacing in the original XML to only use default
namespaces where it did apply. I ended up with nested namspaces (mf in
html in mf .. etc) which only made it worse. So, applying a default
namespace to all elements (most of it by inheritence) made the
stylesheet work. In brief (this is not the actual stuff) it looks
something like:

<xsl:template match="html:*">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

But it didn't really solve much of my original problem. So what I'll
have to do is apply your local-name() patch to it and I should be
homesafe.

Thanks,
/Niclas
