Thanx, Ken, you opened my eyes, now it works like a charm!! :-)
I had it worked out also if I did change the default namespace in the XML
source, but didn't know that I could add a prefix in my XSL.
One Q still: I wonder why the source XML doesn't use a prefix - should it?
It needn't ... and not using one is the practice of using the default
namespace. Here is your data from your earlier message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<job xmlns="http://ns.real.com/tools/job.2.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://ns.real.com/tools/job.2.0

The xmlns="URI" declares the associated namespace URI for element types
that have no namespace prefix.
Note that attributes never use the default namespace: an unprefixed
attribute is an attribute in no namespace ... it isn't even in the
namespace of the element to which it is attached, though most vocabularies
do specify behaviours for unprefixed attributes attached to elements in the
vocabulary.
An important reminder, though, is that proper namespace-aware processing is
based solely on the URI and not on the prefix: you could use "j:" in your
stylesheet and "baboon:" in your instance and the stylesheet will still
work if the namespace prefixes are mapped to the same URI strings.
I hope this helps.
