(that last example is the one most like what I am looking to match)
Would the old docbook stylesheets template (the one that did the
namespace stripping) match on this example? What about the new version
that keeps the namespaces? I assume that the new version is able to
match because it can use the namespace instead of just the prefix (so
it doesn't require a prefix).
Example XML:
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<some math ml elements in here/>
</math>
Sorry for so many questions. If I have more I'll resolve them via
experimentation instead of filling up the mailing list :-]
