I work with XBRL instance documents and frequently find the
following default namespace:
xmlns="http://www.xbrl.org/2003/instance";
I have been removing it for processing with XSLT/XPath/XQuery
Can anyone suggest another solution?
Removing it isn't a solution, it's a hack.
In XSLT 1.0, to refer to an element in a namespace, your stylesheet needs to
bind a prefix to that namespace and you need to use a prefixed name to refer
to the element.
In XSLT 2.0, you can use xpath-default-namespace to declare the namespace
that unprefixed element names in your path expressions (and match patterns)
refer to.
Google for "XSLT default namespace" for a zillion other messages saying the
same thing.
