It is a namespace issue. The xmlns looks like an attribute (and it is),
but namespace-aware XML parsers may not treat it like an attribute and
will treat it as a namespace declaration.

Any XML namespace tutorial will teach you the basics. It's not too
complicated.

No. Instead, add the namespace declaration to the XSL stylesheet.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:o="www.ncr.com/ocz" ...

And then use match="o:some-name" and select="o:some/o:other/o:name".
