Nonetheless Mike's tip is still a good one. If your template matching 
<font> is the only one that matches an element by name, while all 
other elements are matched with a wildcard like "node()" or "*", the 
'font' template is the only one that needs to match its namespace as well.

Now we know what namespace the element to be matched is, what does 
the template look like?

You'll need to have match="h:font", with "h" bound to 
"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; since that's the namespace the font 
element is in. (Or use another prefix of your choice.)

Cheers,
Wendell
