Handling Problems with an Unrecognized Namespace
My processor doesn’t recognize the namespace I’ve declared in my code.
In creating your style sheets, you must declare the XSL namespace. Usually that namespace is given the xsl: alias. Your declaration in either your <stylesheet> or <transform> element includes
xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”
One problem you might encounter is that older processors do not support the current XSLT specification. So, when you use this namespace declaration, you receive an error.
Some of the namespaces that have been used by earlier processors include
xmlns:xsl = “http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl” xmlns:xsl = “http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0”
