Is there a standard mechanism for referencing
namespace URIs for use in an XPath expression
instead of the namespace prefix?
I have a situation where I don't control the
source document. Normally I could get the value
of the <widget> element from this document:
<content xmlns:foo="http://example.org/ns";>
<foo:widget>test</foo:widget>
</content>
with
<xsl:value-of select="/content/foo:widget"/>
But what happens if the namespace prefix isn't
"foo", but "bar" as in this document:
<content xmlns:bar="http://example.org/ns";>
<bar:widget>test</bar:widget>
</content>
Can the namespace be referenced via the URI in
some manner, or is there another standard approach
to dealing with this issue?
Thanks
