Given input

  <content>
    <x:div>
      <x:h3>Content head </x:h3>
      <x:p>Content p </x:p>

ssheet

 <xsl:template match="a:content">
   <xsl:apply-templates mode="content"/>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="*" mode="content">
    <xsl:copy copy-namespaces="no">
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates mode="content"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


I'm getting output of


  <x:div xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
            
            <x:h3>Content head </x:h3>
            
            <x:p>Content p </x:p>
            
         </x:div>


Shouldn't the namespace be removed?

Saxon 8.4. in use.
Or am I misinterpreting page 244 of Mikes book?


(Oh I do miss the header on the pages.
Trying to find an element now is horrible compared
to the 1.0 book)
