Thanks!
Your suggestion allows me to access a specific value.
What would be the best way to actually take the input xml transform it
into a new xml and just change a value or add a new element?
Would it be best to do a template match on "/" and do a for-each on
each element and then test each element to see if it was the one I
wanted to change?
Would it be better to set up specify template match statements for
each of the top-level elements and output the xml from the input
document except in the case where I need to change it?
Thanks,
Paul

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
