RE: [xsl] Matching namespaces - one works, one doesn't ?

["Kerry, Richard" <richard.kerry@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you.
Yes, I'm using Saxon, hence using 2.0.
Yes, this is called from xsl:copy, to which I've added attribute
copy-namespaces="no".

I've removed the xmlns:mytest from the xsl:stylesheet.

I now have only the one template :
	<xsl:template
match="@*[local-name()='noNamespaceSchemaLocation']" />

And the xmlns:xsi and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation are now both being
removed.



Seems I may need to read up a bit more on namespaces.  Doesn't seem too
intuitive to me.....

Appreciatively,
Richard.
