One last thing guys, if you're willing to help:

Now using normal XHTML elements in the XSL file, eg.

<ul><xsl:..../></ul>

works fine.

Similarly, using:

   <xsl:element name="ul">
   ...
   </xsl:element>

works great.

However, using elements:

   <xsl:element name="xhtml:ul">
   ...
   </xsl:element>

Produces '<xhtml:ul>...</xhtml:ul>' in the output XML.

I've changed the namespace to '../1999/xhtml' (lower case) now, so that's ok. Why doesn't it work when using the namespace in the QName? *puzzled*

Many thanks.

- Dave

because it's got the wrong characters in it.
the xhtml namespace is
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
and you declared (but didn't use)
http://www.w3.org/1999/XHTML
which is a different namespace.

I just tested the link...
Whether a server serves anything from a URI has no relationship to
whether that URI is usable as a namespace for a particular vocabulary.
Thw w3c server  rewrites the URI to lowercase if it would otherwise
fail a GET request which is a convenience if you are trying to get web
pages, but irrelevant to namespace processing which is case sensitive.
