RE: [xsl] XSLT Newbie - Need help with DOCTYPE, namespaces, and stuff

[Daniel Lo Nigro <dansoftaus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your quick response, I appreciate it (tt
helped me solved my problem :))

For anyone that's wondering, I needed to add the
namespace to the xsl:stylesheet tag. In my case, it
turned out like:
<xsl:stylesheet
	version="1.0"

xmlns:pack="http://www.simplemachines.org/xml/package-info";
	xmlns:smf="http://www.simplemachines.org/";
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

Then, I needed to prefix everything with "pack:" (eg.
<xsl:value-of select="pack:package-info/pack:id" />)
