RE: default-ns of the result doc different from the default-ns of the stylesheet?

["Vun Kannon, David" <dvunkannon@xxxxxxxx>]

You're correct, you can't change the concrete syntax of XML (the angle
brackets, et al). I choose to write
	<element name="para"><apply-templates/></element>
instead of
	<para><apply-templates/><para>
for the sake of the programmer (me). I suppose someone could write a pair of
stylesheets that transformed literal result elements, etc. into the other
syntax and back again. It would be a nice constructive proof that the two
are equivalent.
Cheers,

Agreed it does 'clutter up' the stylesheet,
though it is nice to have something to 
distinguish between input and output,
presently done by <xsl:... as apposed
to <para>.

(para)<apply-templates/>(/para)

or some other character would suffice?
What 'enclosing' character is available,
since the WD has already used,
sensibly, the round bracket.

Isn't this a no-no in XML? I.e. we must 
use angle brackets.
