Hi tom tom,

I think you should also add a reference to that second XSLT file. 

The whole chain of stylesheets needs to know that <help> resides in the
namespace xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/".

HTH,

Thankyou, this solves half of my problem.

However the included file is also included from a second XSLT file with
contains no existing namespace references. If I add
xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/" to <help> this renders as <help
xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"/> - I do not want the attribute to appear
in the second file.
