I had perviously tried to emulate the XMLNamespaceManager in the .net
framework, for those of you that know about that.
I put the following in my source:
<namespaceManager>
<cs:para/>
</namespaceManager>
I then had a template in transform 1 that was expecting namespaceManager. I
think that I just copied the whole thing over. Maybe If I'd applied templates,
I might have had more luck.
I'll experiment a little more with your suggestions.
I haven't done any work with XSLT2 yet. I guess I'd better start that. From
everything I've heard or read, it sounds like it will solve a lot of common
problems, particularly for those of us that have been using XSLT since the
start.
Thanks much,
Rich

I guess that I could add a fake template in an included transform that
included some elements in the myNs namespace. Might that coerce the
namespace in the way that I want?
XSLT2 has an xsl:namespace instruction for making namespace nodes explictly (if
microsoft has an xslt2 implementation???:-)
the methods of doing this in xslt1 are
just add an attribute somewhere in that namespace.
this gives a spurious attribute but causes the namespace node to be added.
If that is not acceptable you can use <xsl:copy to copy a namespace node from
the source or stylesheet this is I think the situation you are in so you can
<xsl:copy select="namespace:*"/> from the source and get the namespaces copied
over.
Failing that, if the namespace is not in the source, you have to make a result
tree fragment in a variable with an element in that namespace, use
msxml:node-set to get a node set and then use taht node set to copy the
namespace node as above.
