[xml] XSLT question, regarding RSS

Hi, all.

I'm playing around with making an RSS aggregator. I've got an XSLT that
handles a number of news sites, but Slashdot's is stumping me.

I've attached my xsl and a cut-down version of the slash rss page.

running
        xsltproc -v rss.xsl slashdot_news.xml
on this, I see this near the top of the output:

        xsltCompilePattern : parsing 'item'
        xsltCompilePattern : parsed item, default priority 0.000000
        added pattern : 'item' priority 0.000000
        template has 1 inherited namespaces


Then later on, there is this:

        xsltProcessOneNode: no template found for item
        xsltDefaultProcessOneNode: copy text


Is the fact that it's reporting 1 inherited namespace causing this? This
is quite puzzling.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
