Re: support for namespace axis?

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

you have set the default namespace in your stylesheet to be xsl.
So...

	<template match="//city">

would match all city elements from the xsl namespace.

This is not what you want.

No all you need do is declare the namespaces that appear in your source
in your stylesheet, with perhaps differing prefixes.

city is in the namespace 
  "urn:schemas-biztalk.org:your-namespace/purchaseorder.xml"

so if you declare that namespace to be prefix x: in your stylesheet
then what you want is

	<template match="//x:city">Found a city


If you really don't care about the second namespace in your source
document then....

XSL does not let you wildcard on namespaces, so you can not
do *:city however you can get the same effect by wildcarding on all
element nodes and then filtering on local-name

	<template match="//*[local-name(.)='city']">Found a city
