Hi Wolfgang,

That puzzles me a bit, because templates p and Char *do* match. The 
difference is the char template, the char elements are now part of the 
documentnode in the blip variable.
I tried to change the namespace of that documentnode, but up till now, I 
have not succeeded.

Assuming this has to be added to a template match, I tried this:

  <xsl:template xmlns='' match='char' mode='#all'>
    <c><xsl:apply-templates /></c>
  </xsl:template>

But that does not work either, nor when I change that to the xhtml 
namespace.

Maybe I misunderstood you. Thanks for the explanation; I realize more 
and more it is essential to have a good understanding of namespaces...
