xmlns="namespace URI" declares the "default" namespace. So any element
with no prefix is in that namespace URI. To associate a namespace URI
with a namespace prefix, the attribute name is xmlns:prefix="namespace
URI" where prefix is whatever you want to use. This allows you to mix
elements from different namespaces.

Subject: RE:  xsl:include problems

Sorry, I should have included my stylesheet declaration:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet
	version="1.0"
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
	xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">

I'm a relative newbie, but doesn't this line:

	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

declare the xsl namespace prefix?    Does that need to be changed?

Thanks.

Hardy Merrill

You haven't declared the xsl: namespace prefix.

(MSXML's error reporting is not always brilliant...)
