My experiences
suggest that
if the source document contains a default namespace then you
have to map
the namespace to an alternate prefix (ddi: in my example)
otherwise the
templates "match and select" statements do not work), in
other words its
impossible to match elements in the default xmlns namespace without
mapping that namespace to a different prefix.
Correct.
I find this counter-intuitive.
Also correct. This is why it's a FAQ.
Unfortunately many things about namespaces are counter-intuitive. They
were sent to try us. But there's no point complaining, they are there
and we have to live with the rules as they come.
