Re: [xsl] Nodesets in XSLT 1.1 and 1.0

[Geert Bormans <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

strange, I tested this
<xsl:variable name="data" xmlns="">

on both Saxon 6.5.5 and 9.2 prior to posting
and it works,
I see no explanation why it would not work at your end

the other option indeed is keeping the data in the excel namespace 
and do as you just did
it should not matter

cheers
