Please excuse me, I did not mean to appear as though I was complaining, I try my best to avoid it. My goal is simply to try to stop the appearance of the xmlns:ddi namespace declaration from my result document, no more, no less. I was hoping there was a simple means to accomplish this.

Cheers,
Mark

My experiences suggest that if the source document contains a default namespace then you have to map the namespace to an alternate prefix (ddi: in my example) otherwise the templates "match and select" statements do not work), in other words its impossible to match elements in the default xmlns namespace without mapping that namespace to a different prefix.


Correct.

I find this counter-intuitive.


Also correct. This is why it's a FAQ.

Unfortunately many things about namespaces are counter-intuitive. They
were sent to try us. But there's no point complaining, they are there
and we have to live with the rules as they come.
