Hi Martin

I indeed use a default namespace by declaring it with xpath-default-namespace.
An complete example stylesheet looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:er="http://www.junisphere.net/eRanger"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="2.0"
	xpath-default-namespace="http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns">

	<xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-1" method="text" />

	<xsl:variable name="propertyMap">
		<entry key="foo">foo value</entry>
		<entry key="bar">bar value</entry>
	</xsl:variable>

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:value-of xmlns="" select="$propertyMap/entry[@key='foo']" />
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If xpath-default-namespace is deleted, "foo value" is output as
expected. How can I get the expected result with
xpath-default-namespace set?


Best regards,
James
