  so what is the XPath expression to match, say, the

within this namespace?

  <xsl:stylesheet ...
    xmlns:auth="http://whatever.auth.org'>

     select="//auth:last-name"


But as mentioned above, there is no such node in your XML 
fragment. The <last-name> element is in no namespace, unless 
you've declared a default namespace somewhere.

Shouldn't this work then?

      //last-name

sigh ... yup, that found it.  i got my namespace scopes confused.
time to go back and do some more reading.  thanks.

but that still doesn't explain xpathtester's refusal to produce
a solution as described in tidwell.  strange.
