[thelist] Another XSL question

[Mark Kennedy]

Of course, yeah.  It didn't occur to me that you could select ALL namespaces and
then pick through them.  Thanks for that, it should come in useful one day!  I
guess this opens up possibilities for importing stylesheet modules at
processing-time based on the namespaces found in your document source.  Is this
what you're doing?
