In fact, that was what I was doing before, however I was missing the 
namespace="..." attribute and the result was the stylesheet only worked 
when I had all the input document namespaces declared in the stylesheet, 
which was not possible since the input document namespaces are not known 
in advance.

Thanks for your help.  Works a charm.
