All the elements from there on down are in that namespace. When you refer
to one of these elements in a match pattern in your stylesheet, the
preferred way to do it is by a Qname that represents its expanded-name. To
do this you have to bind a prefix to the namespace URI, then use the
prefix in conjunction with the element name, like this:

 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    version="1.0"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
    xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

...

    <xsl:apply-templates select="xhtml:html/xhtml:body/*" />
