xml, xslt and namespaces
Hi to all,
I wonder if somebody can afford me a suitable solution for my problem.
starting from from an original xml file that uses namespaces :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<h:request xmlns:h="http://www.mydomain.org/ns/">>
    <h:title>
        XML, XSLT and Namespaces
    </h:title>
   
    <h:message>
        How to reference XML source namespaces in XSLT files
    </h:message>
</h:request>

I want to transform it into xslt. the problem is that I dont know how to 
resolve the original xml namespaces. If I use the following xslt it 
doesn't work :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict">

<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
    <title> xml-dev request </title>
   
      <body>
      <b>
      Request
      </b>
      <br/>
      <b>
      <xsl:value-of select="request/h:title"/>
      </b>
      <br/>
      <xsl:value-of select="request/h:message"/>
     
       </body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I found a solution for that by adding the xml namespaces like that :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                xmlns:h="http://www.mydomain.org/ns/"
                xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/strict">

<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
    <title> xml-dev request </title>
   
      <body>
      <b>
      Request
      </b>
      <br/>
      <b>
      <xsl:value-of select="h:request/h:title"/>
      </b>
      <br/>
      <xsl:value-of select="h:request/h:message"/>
     
       </body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

this solution doesn't suit me because I want to avoid rewriting the h: 
prefix with every tag!!!

I hope that somebody can help me.
Thanks.
Mahdi
