You have to declare the "x" (or whatever) prefix and bind it to the
namespace in question __in the stylesheet__ (usually in the
xsl:stylesheet element).  Then your select expressions like
"/page/x:request/@target" will work as you desire.

The point is that all the unprefixed elements in your source __do__ have
a namespace - the default namespace.  In the stylesheet you have to
refer to that namespace somehow, and to do that you need to declare it
__with a prefix__.  It does not matter whether or not a prefix is used
in the source document.  What matters is whether a particular element in
the source is bound a a specific namespace, with or without a prefix.

You do not need to match the prefix in the stylesheet with the prefix in
the source - only the corresponding namespace URIs have to match.
