Grzegorz OK; maybe that is what I was asking - where are these "standard techniques" - I have not come across any such examples in my years of working with XSLT and have never before had problems of the sort that are happening now. Any pointers, apart from those to the spec (which is not an easy document at the best of times ;-) Derek

I'm not sure if such tutorial would exist because if you write stylesheets using standard techniques they are prefix-independent. You make your stylesheet relying on namespace prefix if you use name()[1] function instead of local-name()[2]. Even if you reference elements in stylesheet using prefix it's defined in that stylesheet _locally_. It means that you could use different prefixes (pointing to the same namespace, of course) in processed XML and XSL stylesheet and it should work. I think it's crucial to understand that prefix is defined locally and is not part of element's name but only element's expanded name.
