It would.. if it wasn't a typical example of tl;dr...

this whole XSL thing starts to reming me of vrml/x3d... too complicated so they just use webgl now...

i rather use my own template engine in PHP and do things server-side than reading that text to, eventually, find the complicated answer to my simple question...

i'll be back in another 10 years.. regarding vrml/x3d, time worked for me too..

Hello,

I fail to find a working example for transforming XML where tags have a
colon in their name... it's always only fragments of a solution which, of
course, do not work...

1) is there any *complete* example that shows how to do it? preferably for
MRSS...

2) why does XSL have to be more complicated than (e.g.)
simplexml_load_file() from PHP? With all this crazy, over-complicated
namespace junk... (i mean xmlns:yaddayadda) that is broken or wrong in many
feeds anyways... why not just access a tag named<media:group>  with
"media:group"?
