Because xmlns="..." is a namesapace declaration. XSLT (only) supports files that conform to the Namespaces in XML Recommendation. That's also how it knows that the XSL file is indeed XSL, by recognising xmlns:whatever="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; > Is the "xmlns" attribute a "protected keyword" attribute? I yes, or rather, according to the Xpath data model it's not an attribute at all, it's a namespace declaration. > Is there any other attribute names that I can't use? The XML specification restricts all names beginning with xml (any case). > "How do I get the stylesheet to work with Declare the XHTML namespace in your stylesheet xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1"; (say on the xsl:stylesheet element) then match against h:html not html in your Xpath expressions. Note that your source document whilst conforming to the Namespace Rec misuses namespaces as it claims that docBody is an element in the XHTML namespace. It would be better if you had <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1";> **XHTML tags** <my:docBody xmlns:my="mailto:pmcevoy@xxxxxxxx";> so that it was clear who was defining which elements. > Is there a way to get the stylesheet to ignore these xmlns declarations? no. You can have match="html|h:html" if you want to match against either form.
