Namespaces are incredibly useful when merging XML from different systems; I strip them as soon as possible because processing them is annoying. An extra transform copying everything with strip-namespaces often makes XSL code much more maintainable. Otherwise... local-name() is your friend. Example: <xsl:apply-templates select="*[local-name() != 'index']"/> Rewriting your example: <xsl:apply-templates select="/relex/systems/*[local-name() = 'document']/*[local-name() = 'record']" /> Messy, but it works.
