Re: [xsl] Problem copying xhtml elements from xml source

name() references the fully qualified name of the element (e.g. "foo:bar")
 instead of {local-name()}

local-name() references just the local QName (e.g. foo:"bar")

Although in this particular case the value of the name() property is the same as 
the local-name() property you will find that using the property value whose 
definition matches that of which you are trying to match will save you from 
frustration when, in future development, you use the name() property of an 
element that is bound to a namespace even though it may not seem like it to the 
naked eye.
