There's a potential loophole, depending on where the namespace declarations are placed in the source tree, and the performance hit of searching every element in the tree would add up quickly. Since you know the target namespace URI in your stylesheet (in order to be able to write a predicate like the above), why not just associate it with a prefix? .................David Marston
