Google Earth Namespace problem

Hi

I am a newbie & not really understanding the concept of namespaces.

In the code below xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" prevents
the transformation by the XSL code shown further down.

I have tried duplicating it in the XSL file, giving it the same format eg
xmlns:xsl & other permutations but with no luck.
If I remove it it works.

it is downloaded from the 'net so i do not want to edit it manually.
Is there way to get it to accept this namespace? If not a way to remove
it using the XSL?



xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2"
xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

Please state exactly what happens when you say "prevents the
transformation". Do you get an error? Which one exactly, by which tool?
What output do you expect, what output do you get?

No Error. The output is identical to the input XML.

I am expecting it return the document in XML format but with this line
missing: <name>The Map!</name>.

If I remove xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" it works as expected.

I have just started using Xselerator to edit/run, but I am not happy with
it  -the editor appears to have some quirks.

Could you recommend an editor/compiler, preferably free. Sablotron was
suggested as a command line transformer, but cannot find a download. is
it still in existence?

Thanks for your help

That makes much more sense then your earlier statement that xmlns:gx
makes problems.

As for dealing with the default namespace, with XSLT 1.0 you need to
bind a prefix to the namespace URI and use that prefix in XPath
expressions and match patterns to qualify element names e.g.

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
version="1.0">
