RE: [xsl] Transforming xml with any namespace

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First point, it is never necessary to use disable-output-escaping="yes" when
using output method="text", because no escaping happens with method="text";
and it is never necessary to use it when outputting the text "=", because
that would not be escaped anyway (only & and < are escaped). It looks as if
you are using this attribute as magic fairy dust when you don't know what it
means.

The substantive point: the reason you get output for <ns1:Type2>please dont
print me</ns1:Type2> is that you don't have a template rule for this
element, and the default template rule causes output of the value of all its
text nodes. To suppress this, add the template rule

<xsl:template match="text()"/>

You led me down the garden path for a while by saying you wanted the output
Type2=value2, but I assume that was a typo. It wasted a lot of my time.
