Thanks Chris. I had just found this explanation on
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3836121/xslt-does-not-work-when-i-include-xmlns-http-www-sitemaps-org-schemas-sitemap>
when your email came in. This takes care of it.
Much appreciation.
Nathan

I still wasn't getting the results in my application, so I created
pets.xml and sure enough the template worked. It only works with
my original document if I remove attributes found in the root

The original first 6 lines: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">
I had to remove all attributes from <urlset> before the XSL would
work. Do I need to reference the schema in my XSL?
Ahh... the good ol’ namespace FAQ.
Every element type name is a pair: namespace URI and local name.
What you thought was null-namespace plus “species” is in fact
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 plus “species” (often
written as {http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9}species). An
XPath expression matching just “species” matches {}species, which is a
*different name* than
{http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9}species.
You need, in your XSLT, to declare something like
xmlns:sitemap="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" and then
use sitemap:species in your XPath. (A shorter prefix might be in
order, but a prefix is required for XSLT 1.0 and recommended (IMO) for
clarity for XSLT 2.0.)
