XSLT 2.0 allows you to write xpath-default-namespace="http://t3.org/test",
which implicitly qualifies all element names in path expressions and match

need to prefix its name.

Apologies for the XSLT 2.0 newbie question but why does the XSLT author have to deal with two default namespaces in the same document? At first glance, it seems that making XPath aware of the XSLT document's default namespace is a simpler solution.

Thanks,
