I have a problem with the namespace of an XML file. The header of that
file is that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<AuditFile xmlns="urn:OECD:StandardAuditFile-Tax:PT_1.00_01">

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="urn:OECD:StandardAuditFile-Tax:PT_1.00_01" xmlns:fo="
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
....

Well, the XSL file is not showing the values of the XML file. But if I
eliminate the namespace in the XML file
(xmlns="urn:OECD:StandardAuditFile-Tax:PT_1.00_01") it works.

What is the correct way to declare that namespace in the XSL file?

With XSLT and XPath 1.0, to select and match elements in a namespace you need to bind a prefix to the namespace URI and use that prefix in your XPath expressions and match patterns to qualify element names

  <xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:df="urn:OECD:StandardAuditFile-Tax:PT_1.00_01"
    exclude-result-prefixes="df"
    version="1.0">

    <xsl:template match="/df:AuditFile">
       <html>
         <body>
           <xsl:value-of select="df:Header/df:CompanyID"/>
         </body>
       </html>
    </xsl:template>
