You need to match a document that has elements <doc>, <p>, <Char> that are
in *no namespace*, where the name has no namespace name, just a locsl name.
Your output document is supposed to be in the namespace "
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", and you'd like to use the shortened notation
known as *default namespace*. In the 2nd version of your XSLT you introduce
a default namespace, and, sure enough, the matches written without a prefix
aren't in the no namespace ghetto any more.

You may, however, at any time cancel the definition for the default
namespace by writing

    xmlns=""

and everything below that has no prefix hasn't a namespace name either.

You'll have to put this attribute where you need to match the no namespace
elements, and you'll have to add the xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
to elements contained therein, where the output elements are part of the
template.
