No, it doesn't affect the canonical identity transformation. However, it does affect the specialized templates you add to modify the identity transformation: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:foo="http://www.foo.com/foo"> <xsl:template match="@* | node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="foo:field"> <!-- Here's where we should do something special... --> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Some other comments: 1. "@* | node()" is a less verbose version of "* | comment() | text() | processing-instruction() | @*" 2. The priority attribute you are using are not necessary. In most cases, the default priorities for match patterns are sufficient. 3. Default namespaces may also affect the XPath expressions you use in your xsl:variable definitions. Dave Dave
