In your xml your root COURTCASE element is not prefixed
but you dont have a default namespace

perhaps add one in and you will get more output

<COURTCASE
xmlns="some-urn"
xmlns:lnv="http://www.lexis-nexis.com/lnv"
xmlns:lnvxe="http://www.lexis-nexis.com/lnvxe"
xmlns:lnci="http://www.lexis-nexis.com/lnci">

I used xalan and noticed i got an error with "str" in
exclude-result-prefixes="xsl lnv lnvxe lndocmeta xd str xalan"
I had to remove it as well.

exclude-result-prefixes="xsl lnv lnvxe lndocmeta xd xalan"

I got the problem! I was sillly to write <xsl:template
name="blah-blah"> instead of <xsl:template match="blah-blah"> to match
xml elements.

As for default namespace I just need to remove xmlns="Ankush" from my
xml file and it should work for me.

Anyway, it was nice to see this article. I will read it in full some
other time. Thanks for sharing this with me. I am a novice in XSLT and
thus seem to make more silly mistakes than others.

Thanks again
Ankush

Changing the XML to remove xmlns is usually not the right way to solve
the problem but rather an attempt to circumvent the problem.

Hi Martin - read the article which has helped clear up some confusion
on namespaces for me.. thanks!

So by implication Ankush should go with something like the following??

<xsl:stylesheet

Can you elaborate or point in the direction of good documentation to
explain the reasoning behind this?

Yes, some prefix has to be declared in the stylesheet for what is the
(or a) default namespace in the source XML.

Then that prefix has to be used, as you do here

> <xsl:template name="pf:COURTCASE">

correctly.

> <xsl:call-template name="pf:Dissent">

The name attribute value is not an XPath expression nor a match pattern
so there is no need to change that to a qualified name. It works just as
fine with using
<xsl:call-template name="Dissent">
as it already was in the original stylesheet.

The reasoning why I say "changing the XML to remove xmlns is usually not
the right way"? Well namespaces in XML give the XML semantics and if you
remove a namespace declaration then you change the semantics. And if the
reason for that change is that you do not know of a simple technique to
write a stylesheet to match/select elements in a default namespace then
I think the solution is to learn that technique and not to make changes
of the semantics of the source/input XML.
