I'm stuck, I'm trying to write XPATH against an Excel worksheet
converted to XML, I'm actually trying to transform it into clean and
nice xml, but darnit, the default namespace is throwing me off!
I'm getting an error from XpathMania which says
"Document has a default namespace"
When I add the default namespace, then my xpath queries no longer work.
So the XML looks like this:
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";>
<DocumentProperties xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">

I'm not too sure what your question is Karl... but if it's "how do I
match elements in a default namespace" then:
In XSLT 2.0 - set the xpath-default-namespace to the namespace and
you're done, eg:
<xsl:stylesheet
xpath-default-namespace="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
Or, in XSLT 1.0 (or just because its more explicit) assign the
namespace to a prefix in your stylesheet and update all of your paths:
<xsl:stylesheet
xxmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
select="//ss:foo/ss:bar"
