HI Mark,

No, I mean that under Firefox, one cannot access xmlns: DOM elements at all from XSLT. This is because they are not attributes and Firefox does not support the namespace axis in XPath. The Mozilla Developer Center lists namespace: as "unsupported" on:
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XPath/Axes/namespace

I would think that this would be a major problem for anyone trying to use XSLT on documents with RDFa from within the browser.

Regards,
Dave

Hi David,

Do you mean that in Firefox you can't use
substring-before()/substring-after() and so on?

Hi all,

We are working on a project that needs to perform parsing of RDFa in an XHTML file from XSL within a browser. IE 8 seems to be the only browser that supports our full pipeline (which is a pain, since we are all working
on Macs and Linux!).

Firefox /almost/ works, but namespaces (curies) apparently cannot be parsed
from XSL in that browser.

Does anyone know if the Firefox team plans to fix this soon? Or does anyone
know who we should ask?  Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Dave
