Thank you very much for clarifying that. The problem
is, I'm using Microsoft's sharepoint in which this
particular file is involved, so I think I need to use
this namespace because they are using MSXML and my
managers will probably have a problem with the
download. Do you see any other way of getting around
this? If not, I'll just state my case.
Thanks again

Hi,
I don't know if this is actually a names pace

but here it is. I have a few XSL files that set

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
Here you have said that elements, attributes and
XPath function calls bearing
the xsl: prefix in their names are in the
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
namespace. When those things are associated with
this URI, it means that they
are XSLT 1.0 instructions and functions, which are
what you should be using.
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";
Here you have said that the elements with the xsl:
prefix are instructions
from an obsolete pre-1.0 working draft (Dec 1998)
that Microsoft decided to
support in MSXML2 and has never given up on. There
is no practical reason to
use this except if you want your code to work within
the version of MSXML that
ships with IE5, and do not want to make people
download MSXML3 via a simple
ActiveX control.
See http://www.netcrucible.com/ for the MSXML FAQ
which will explain further.
This FAQ is also on the MSDN site, where you can
seek answers to further
WD-xsl namespace questions.
Look here for conformance charts for various MSXML
versions:
http://www.vbxml.com/xsl/XSLTRef.asp
http://www.vbxml.com/xsl/XPathRef.asp
...It will probably explain why you can't use param
in the obsolete namespace.
