[xsl] MathML and XSL

[Gerard Milmeister <milmei@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am writing an application for mathematical publishing.
I have written a DTD that include MathML in this way:

<!ENTITY % mathml PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN"
                  "http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd";>
%mathml;

I have specified a tag <eqn> that may include a <math> tag.

What I want is to translate my XML documents to XHTML, but leave
the <math> elements alone for the browser to interpret.
I my XSL sheet I have the following.

  <xsl:template match="math">
    <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2";>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </math>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="math//*">
      <xsl:element name="{name(.)}">
        <xsl:for-each select="@*">
          <xsl:attribute name="{name(.)}">
            <xsl:value-of select="."/>
          </xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:for-each>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

so that math elements get copied as is.

However this doesn't work. math elements simply don't
get matched. I guess it is a problem with name spaces.
Is there a simple solution to include mathml elements
in a xml, that simply get copied to a XHTML output?

Regards,
