Hi Mr. Piez,
To make it more clear,
I understand when you say
"Step 2 does nothing useful: it only adds a namespace declaration for a
prefix that
is never used there."
you only mean the prefix is not necessary. The "xmlns="
http://ns.hr-xml.org/2004-08-02"; namespace specification itself is needed.
Cheers,

Please respond
to xsl-list
At 10:46 PM 3/14/2005, it was written:
You can get it to work by modifying your template thus:
<xsl:template match="hr:Resume">
</xsl:template>
and adding a prefix 'hr' to the 'Resume' element in your xml as follows:
<Resume xml:lang="EN" xmlns:hr="http://ns.hr-xml.org/2004-08-02";>
Also, you would need to add the xmlns:hr namespace to your xslt file as
well as follows:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl
="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:hr="http://ns.hr-xml.org/2004-08-02";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; >
This is very helpful and quite correct, except in a couple of details.
Really, only steps 1 and 3 are necessary: add a namespace declaration to
your stylesheet that assigns a prefix to the namespace of the elements in
your source, which are already bound to the
"http://ns.hr-xml.org/2004-08-02"; namespace -- which is why they don't
currently match -- (this is step 3 above), and then use the prefix whenever
you refer to elements in this namespace in your stylesheet (step 1). Step 2
does nothing useful: it only adds a namespace declaration for a prefix that
is never used there.
Also, strictly speaking the namespace declarations (the "xmlns" thingies)
aren't attributes, and shouldn't be called attributes even though they look
just like them. This is because although they are expressed as attributes
syntactically, they don't turn up as attributes in the data model.
Cheers,
Wendell
