After 8 years or so of XSLT now, the "a-ha" moment only came to me the
other day when I saw a post with xmlns on xsl:template:

<xsl:template match="foo" xmlns="abc">

It looked odd and illegal, but then I realised its perfectly fine
because XSLT is XML - and it's that reason that determines the
namespaces of LREs.

So the golden rule for dealing with xmlns="" is to look at your
stylesheet as XML and it should be clear where the problem is.

It seems so obvious now, but it will go down as yet-another-xslt-a-ha-moment...

cheers
