Re: [xsl] <xsl:copy> and namespaces

It's not the copy that fails it's the match, changing teh namespace
changes the name of the element so you have to change the match
expression to the new name. Xpaths in XSLT1 never use the default
namespace decalartion so you have to bind that namespace to a prefix.

(this is a faq)

don't do this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns="urn:my-ns"

do this

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xxxxxxx="urn:my-ns"

then you can do

<xsl:template match="xxxxxxx:record">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="xxxxxxx:field"/>
