[sword-devel] namespaces in xsl

[David Troidl]

Here's the root element of an OSIS document:
<osis 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace 
http://www.bibletechnologies.net/osisCore.2.1.1.xsd" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xmlns="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace">

And here is a style sheet for transforming it:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:osis="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace"
                 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Notice how the xmlns:osis from the style sheet matches the xmlns from 
the XML document.  The osis prefix distinguishes the elements that come 
from that namespace.
