namespaces with xslt

[Sylvie Picouet <sy...@brest.actia.fr>]

I have an XML file that uses a namespace (the associated schema is defined 
in a namespace).
When I want to apply an xslt stylesheet to that xml file, is there a way 
not to be obliged to add the namespace to each node in path expressions 
(like in xsl:template match=path-exp or xsl:apply-templates select=pathexp) 
?
Thanks in advance,

Sylvie.

I'm not sure I understood waht you mean, but my answer is: no way, xpath 
1.0 doesn't have a facility to set up default namespace and every 
unprefixed node name is considered to be in a null namespace, so you 
have to declare namespace and use xhtml:td -like expressions.

PS. That's actually offtopic, try great
