My mailer ate the rest of your message so I cannot read it.

Xsl:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
        <xsl:template match="/html">
                Boo to a goose
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Is there a way to say "any namespace"?

Since you are using XSLT 2: match="/*:html"

Why isn't that the default?

Because there would be no other way to say "the element <html> in no namespace".

This convention for no prefix has been true since XSLT was standardized in 1999 ... the new syntax for match patterns of "*:name" is new with XSLT 2.

I hope this helps.
