Wow... That makes complete sense now... I still can't believe that I've never
seen this before, but now I know how to handle it, so I guess there's always
something new to learn!
Thank you so much for your response and this reference... Big help!

Subject: RE: [xsl] Namespace declarations in XML
I have a client passing me a feed with a top-level element
that looks like this:
<ArrayOfProductType
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns="http://catalog.9squared.com";>
Now, am I mistaken in thinking that namespace declarations
are inappropriate in an XML feed? And if I am mistaken, how
do I work with that? I even duplicated these namespace
declarations in my xsl and then pointed them to resolve to
the xsl namespace, but I am still getting nothing to output.
All elements in the above feed are in the 'http://catalog.9squared.com'
namespace, so in order to match them you will have to declare that
namespace in your stylesheet, give it a prefix and then match elements
with that prefix:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:foo="http://catalog.9squared.com"; ......
And then:
<xsl:template match="foo:whatever">.....
Read here for more 'Matching nodes in the default namespace' info:
