I fail to find a working example for transforming XML where tags have a
colon in their name... it's always only fragments of a solution which, of
course, do not work...
1) is there any *complete* example that shows how to do it? preferably for
MRSS...
All you need to do is define the namespace for the element for you are
trying to process at a higher point in the hierarchy that is the xml
that is your stylesheet.... so typically the root element as that's
highest point so it will be in-scope throughout the stylesheet file,
just like the 'xsl' namespace.
2) why does XSL have to be more complicated than (e.g.)
simplexml_load_file() from PHP? With all this crazy, over-complicated
namespace junk... (i mean xmlns:yaddayadda) that is broken or wrong in many
feeds anyways... why not just access a tag named <media:group> with
"media:group"?
It's not that complicated and it's not junk, you just haven't figured
it out yet. You are probably still thinking of xml as a string
instead of a tree of nodes, and once you make that jump everything
else falls into place.
If you want to process <media:group> you need to know the namespace
being used for 'media' in the xml and then define that your in
stylesheet, and that's it, done.
