Is there a reason why <xsl:key> would break when a namespace is added

Only because of a finger problem ... you have a typo ... don't kick yourself too hard when I tell you what it is.

All well and good. Now, I add a namespace to the input XML, so that
the first two lines read:
----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FMPDSORESULT xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult";>
----
...and I make the appropriate changes in my XSLT, adding the prefixes
where I reference an element, so that my transformation now looks
like this:
----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0" xmlns:fm="http://filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult";

Your problem is that your data namespace has "www" and your stylesheet namespace doesn't.


I hope this helps.
