I am writing a stylesheet to display Abbott-Smith's Manual Greek Lexicon

idea how to get the namespace declaration right in the xsl file. I have
googled and tried several solutions, but so far nothing works.

Take a look at http://luther.ceplovi.cz/git/?p=czekms-csp_bible.git;a=blob;f=CEP2OSIS.xsl;h=7f84af2b870fec6068c0c2eb77ce46142a16d4eb;hb=HEAD

That's XSL script which completely generates CzeCSP Bible from the original proprietary (read, bag-of-random-elements-hacked-together) XML scheme to OSIS.

The source document, abbott-smith.xml, begins:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="abbott-smith.xsl"?>
<TEI xmlns="http://www.crosswire.org/2008/TEIOSIS/namespace";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.crosswire.org/2008/TEIOSIS/namespace
http://www.crosswire.org/OSIS/teiP5osis.1.4.xsd";>

Here is how abbott-smith.xsl begins:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" />

That's wrong ... you have namespace only for the stylesheet itself, you need something for the incoming document as well something (maybe empty) for output.

The only way I can get the xsl to work is to delete the namespace
declaration from the source document, which does not seem like good
practice. Simply adding
xmlns="http://www.crosswire.org/2008/TEIOSIS/namespace"; to
<xsl:stylesheet> in abbott-smith.xsl does not work. Nor does adding it
as xmlns:tei and adding /tei: to the first XPath query.

Take a look also at http://duckduckgo.com/?q=xml%20namespace%20site%3Axml.com

Take a look at my example and let us know, if you have more questions.

Blessings,

Matěj

If trains stop at train stations, what happens at work stations?
