Hallo David,
tanks for your information about the XML-background.
Your last sentence also means that in the XSLT-Spec,
exists no "dummy"-namespace as placeholder for that "no-namespace"
like in my second trial:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" .... xmlns:my="#default">
<xsl:template match="my:*">
... ?
Is there any other way to avoid changing
all the xpath-selection rsp.
all the match-patterns of
my stylesheet, when the input-document will be decorated by a namespace.
for example from
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" .... >
<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:apply-template select="tag1/tag2[tag3]"/>
...
into
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" ....
xmlns:my="http://www.my.thenewnamespace";>
<xsl:template match="my:root">
<xsl:apply-template select="my:tag1/my:tag2[my:tag3]"/>
...
As far as I know it is neither possible to use empty namespace-prefix, like
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" .... xmlns="http://www.my.thenewnamespace";>
<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:apply-template select="tag1/tag2[tag3]"/>
thanks,
Siggi

The XML Namespaces rec does not allow a prefix to be used with
no-namespaace.
With XML Namespace 1.0 (which is the version used by almost all systems)
xmlns:my=""
is a syntax error.
With WXML Namespace 1.1 xmlns:my="" is allowed but it does not make
<my:foo/> refer to foo in no-namespace it unbinds the prefix my (if it
had already been bound) so making <my:foo/> an error.
So your requested result isn't conformant to the XML namespaces rec, and
XSLT won't generate it for you.
