Re: [xslt] Beginner XSLT/xsltproc question.

[Marian Olteanu <mou_softwin yahoo com>]

The trick is that you used a NameSpace URI in your xml file
(http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval).
You may say that the real hierarchy is:
oval:oval-->oval:definitions-->oval:definition

To make it work, you need to match the nodes with the same namespace URI, and you defined a prefix
to associate with this URI named oval. Thus you need to use something like:

<xsl:for-each select="oval:definition">
