Hi,
First of all, by default namespace I meant no-namespace. And never mind
about the default behaviour. That was just my way of understanding
namespaces.
Unprefixed element names in XPath 1
_always_ refer to elements in no-namespace nt elements in the default
namespace of the source or stylesheet, this is not a "default behaviour"
that can be overridden, it is fixed.
The mention of XPath 1 too has taken me by surprise.For this discussion I
was using the term XSLT though the topic had more to do more with XPATH.
does that mean both the xml file and stylesheet files are processing
elements in the no-namespace event though the root element has a
"xmlns=http://somenamespace"; albeit without a prefix. How do you explain
that the templates in my xsl matched elements that had "html:" prefixes and
still found them. Iam referring to the xhtml2fo transformation in my
earlier mail.
Cheers,

Please

This is sort of like the namespace declaration causes the stylesheet to
override its default behavior which is to treat elements as being in the
default namespace. Alternately, one may specify a prefix in the namespace
declaration with a prefix and use the prefix everywhere in the xml file
and
get the same behavior.
No. Xpath can not tell (normally) whether an element is in the default
namespace or not. the "default namespace" is just like "the namespace
bound to the prefix x" except that teh "prefix" in thi scase is empty.
With the single exception of the name() function, prefixes used in the
source (or non-prefixes in the case of the default namespace) are not
available to XPath (or XSLT). Unprefixed element names in XPath 1
_always_ refer to elements in no-namespace nt elements in the default
namespace of the source or stylesheet, this is not a "default behaviour"
that can be overridden, it is fixed.
