] staroffice/content.xml (which does not include namespace declarations for
] ns1, ns2, ns):
] 
] <text:p text:style-name="Standard">
]   <text:variable-set text:name="__Adressen_jeweilsInZeile"
] text:value-type="string">
] /ns1:elem1/ns1:elem2/ns2:elem3/ns2:elem3</text:variable-set> 
] </text:p>


If the file does not have namespace declarations then it does not
conform to the namespace spec and it can not be used as input to XSLT at
all. XSLT only works on Namespace conforming documents.

If you can not edit the file you can make a wrapper file that looks
like

<!DOCUMENT foo [
 <!ENTITY content SYSTEM "content.xml">
]>
<foo
 xmlns:ns1="http//foo.bar.ns1"
 xmlns:ns2="http//foo.bar.ns2"
>
&content;
</foo>

Then use this file as input to your XSLT transform.

David
