Hi Ron,

This method is a bit unconventional, and it may not be exactly 
what you are asking for, but it works in the Gecko based and IE 
browsers.

Don't know if it would work in any of the other parsers, or if 
it would work on a backend.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='this.xml'?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
	version="1.0" 
	xmlns:z="MyXMLStuff" 
	exclude-result-prefixes="z">

	<!-- XSL transformation here -->

	<xsl:output method="html"/>

	<xsl:template match="z:MyZRoot"	>
		<html>
			<body>
				<h1>
					<xsl:apply-templates select="z:hello"/>
					<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
					<xsl:apply-templates select="z:world"/>
				</h1>
			</body>
		</html>		
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="z:hello">
		<i>
			<xsl:value-of select="."/>
		</i>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="z:world">
		<xsl:value-of select="."/>
	</xsl:template>


	<!-- Actual XML portion here with a namespace prefix -->

	<z:MyZRoot>
		<z:hello>Hello</z:hello>
		<z:world>World!</z:world>
	</z:MyZRoot>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This approach is probably not very efficient.
