Namespaces and For-each

["Mike Ball" <Mike.Ball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all

I am trying to transform a document which uses several namespace prefixes.
Something like:-

<pr1:element1>
  <pr2:element2>
     <my-element>

etc

I have a template which matches "/" and within that I'm trying to do
<xsl:for-each select="//my-element">

This never selects any elements. In contrast, if I have a series of
templates matching "/", "*" and "my-element" with each of the doing an
apply-templates, I *do* select the "my-element".

Can anyone tell me if this is to be expected? If so, why?

I'm using lotusxsl_0_19_2 (which is Xalan internally I believe).

Thanks in advance
