This is of course the scenario that motivated xpath-default-namespace in
XSLT 2.0.

> 
> Hi all,
> 
> Suppose you write a stylesheet to process a source document 
> that has no namespace.
> 
> Then you decide to add a namespace to the source document:
>   <doc xmlns="scribble"> ... </doc>
> 
> So now everywhere in your stylesheet that you want to select
> or match elements in the source document, you have to
> insert a prefix.
> 
> E.g. you have to change
> 
>  <xsl:template match="foo">
>    <xsl:if test="parent::bar[@baz] = /*/squid">...</xsl:if>
> 
> into
> 
>  <xsl:template match="myns:foo">
>    <xsl:if test="parent::myns:bar[@baz] = /*/myns:squid">...</xsl:if>
> 
> Has anyone written a program (e.g. a stylesheet) to do this 
> automatically?
> 
> Thanks,
> Lars
