Sorry. This is painful. Let's spell it out.

If you declare a default namespace xmlns="some.uri" in a source XML
document, then an element written as <x> is actually <{some.uri}x>. That
is, its real name consists of both the namespace URI and the local name.

If you want to match such an element, you need to match both the uri and
the local name:

<xsl:template match="some:x" xmlns:some="some.uri">

It does not help to declare a default namespace in the stylesheet,
because the default namespace only applies to element names appearing
literally in the stylesheet (e.g. <x>), it does not apply to names used
within XPath expressions or match patterns.

Hei Michael,

thanks for the advice.

I thought put everything in the default name space 
and everything will workout.

But if I declare the default name space in the style sheet 
it still does not work??

The style sheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; >
      <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" 
indent="yes"/>
      <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
              <xsl:copy>
                      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
              </xsl:copy>
      </xsl:template> 
      <xsl:template match="ul" >
              <xsl:comment>From Here</xsl:comment>
              <xsl:copy >
                      <xsl:for-each 
select="li[not(.=following-sibling::li)]">
                              <xsl:copy>
                                      <xsl:apply-templates 
select="node()|@*"/>
                              </xsl:copy>
                      </xsl:for-each>
              </xsl:copy>
      </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

does not work on:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" 
href="extractDublicates.xslt"?> <html 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
      <head>
              <title>Enter the title of your XHTML document 
here</title>
      </head>
      <body>
              <p>Enter the body text of your XHTML document here</p>
              <div>
                      <p>Another chapter</p>
                      <ul>
                              <li>A</li>
                              <li>A</li>
                              <li>B</li>
                              <li>B</li>
                              <li>B</li>
                              <li>C</li>
                              <li>C</li>
                      </ul>
              </div>
      </body>
</html>

Precisely, as I suspected: you've put the elements in a 
namespace and you therefore need to prefix their names in the 
stylesheet.

Hei Michael,

its the default namespace, the document starts with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" 
href="extractDublicates.xslt"?> <html 
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>?

Probably the "ul" element is in the XHTML namespace. You need
to declare a prefix for this namespace in your stylesheet and 
write match="xhtml:ul".

I have the following problem:

I want a perfect copy of an xhtml document but want avoid coping 
duplicates "li"s in all "ul" lists.

I tried:

  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
          <xsl:copy>
                  <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
          </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template> 

  <xsl:template match="ul" >
          <xsl:comment>From Here</xsl:comment>
          <xsl:copy >
                  <xsl:for-each
select="li[not(.=following-sibling::li)]">
                          <xsl:copy>
                                  <xsl:apply-templates
select="node()|@*"/>
                          </xsl:copy>
                  </xsl:for-each>
          </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

but it does not work.
It does not even touch the ul template?
If the document node would be "ul" it works???

Any help available.

Thanks in advance
