Subject: [xsl] Confusing namespaces and xslt

I have a newbie question. I've gone round and around on this issue and
haven't been able to make any headway on my own. I suspect I'm missing
some basic understanding of how to use XPath expressions and how
namespaces are used. so I apologize in advance if the question is a
stupid one.

I need to handle the following xml and generate new xml that makes
some changes to some of the attributes;

In your XSL, on the stylesheet or transform element declare the namespace with 
whatever prefix you desire.  That will allow you to use that prefix in your 
XPath statements.  So:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:client="http://somecompany.com/box/client";
  xmlns:box="http://somecompany.com/box";


Now in your XPath:

/client:box-client/client:network/box:components
