Re: [xsl] transforming something with a namespace

["Sam Carleton" <scarleton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

You bring up a very interesting question.  I have always been working
in the Microsoft world so I have always been limited to XSLT 1.0, but
this project is a PHP 5.2.0 program.  I just looked and I see that PHP
5.2.0 is using Libxslt, but I cannot tell if Libxslt supports XSLT2.
I see that it implements most of EXSLT, what ever that is, so I am
assuming that is is XSLT2 compliant.  Do you know?

If it is, can you give me a little more info on
default-xpath-namespace, I googled it and did not find any good
examples, and I am not smart enough to understand the official specs.
