Hello

I'm looking for advice on how to handle 2 different xml files in 1
transform, one has a namespace, the other doesn't.

Example with namespace...

<ns1:BigCardThing xmlns:ns1="http://xyz.com/ns1/blah/blahspec";>
                 <ns1:bigCard>
                                 <ns1:surname>Lastname</ns1:surname>

<ns1:givenName1>Firstname</ns1:givenName1>
                                 <ns1:dateOfBirth>1971-04-04</ns1:dateOfBirth>
                                 <ns1:gender>M</ns1:gender>
                 </ns1:bigCard>
</ns1:BigCardThing>

...without

<BigCardThing >
                 <bigCard>
                                 <surname>Lastname</surname>
                                 <givenName1>Firstname</givenName1>
                                 <dateOfBirth>1971-04-04</dateOfBirth>
                                 <gender>M</gender>
                 </bigCard>
</BigCardThing>

Is there a way for xslt to look for the missing namespace and then
'add it' in the transform?

  <xsl:template match="*[not(namespace-uri())]">
<xsl:element name="ns1:{local-name()}" namespace=""http://xyz.com/ns1/blah/blahspec";>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>
