Thank you for the response, that helps my understanding. 

What we are doing is in the sitemap we pass parameters to the XSL process
based on the match pattern of the requested file. The parameters are used to
set CSS file links or to call different html templates to build the web
pages. What this means for us is that .html is a default view, .lrg is a
large text view, .cv is a content view (without headers and left side menu)
and so on. 

Working with the html elements in our XML files is allowing me to rewrite
the href attribute of the legacy a elements in such a way that I can
substitute the .html with the extension based on the site type (default,
largetext or content view).

All assistance has been greatly appreciated.

Only if you have �xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"� in your XSL 
stylesheet. If the stylesheet does not have a namespace for html, it 
will recognize html elements without a namespace.
