Re: [xslt] Possible namespace-related bug in xsltproc

Charles --

Thanks for the pointer. Now 3 cases work and 1 case fails, the
opposite of the prior behavior (better-novalid.out is the one that
fails to print "HAH!" now). I'll go work with my original stuff some
more to see if that helps enough to let me move on.

The reason I thought to post to this list was that the behavior was
inconsistent (--novalid affects the output), which it seems to me
shouldn't be the case...

xsltproc is working like it is supposed to. The bug.svg file has a
default namespace but your stylesheet does not handle the default
namespace. 
replace lines:
   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
<xsl:template match='svg'>
<xsl:template match='rect'>
with
   xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
<xsl:template match='s:svg'>
<xsl:template match='s:rect'>

to get the stylesheet to work on bug.svg

BTW, this is the type of question you should ask on the XSL-list. Daniel
states this on the libxslt webpages (http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/bugs.html).
