Yes, but at this time you have to download snapshot release.

No, stylesheet can use completely different prefixes then instance.
Matching is done on namespace name (URI). I'm probably misunderstanding
your problem here.
In html/math.xsl, there were some lines like this:
<!-- "Support" for MathML -->
<xsl:template match="mml:*"
xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
As far as I know, this means that MathML was only passed through if it
had an mml: prefix. I assume this was done because of the
non-namespaced template matching. So, is that a correct assessment? Is
the requirement for the prefix still present?
Hi Chris,
No, that is not the correct assessment. 8^)
The prefix string does not matter, all that matters in the stylesheet is
that there is a prefix in the match attribute, and it is assigned to the
mathml namespace name http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML using the xmlns
attribute. That assignment can be done on the root element of the
stylesheet so the namespace scope is the entire stylesheet, or in the
individual stylesheet elements as is done here.
Your document can use a different prefix, or use the default namespace, as
long as the namespace name is assigned. The above template will match on
all of these elements in your document:
<m:mml xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";>
<math:mml xmlns:math="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";>
<bob:mml xmlns:bob="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";>
<mml xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML";>
It will *not* match on <mml:mml> if the namespace prefix mml: is not
assigned to the namespace name.
Hope that helps.
