Is the document namespace also declared in the stylesheet?<br>
<br>
If you have the following root:<br>
<br>
&lt;svg xmlns=&quot;<a href="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" \
                target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/2000/svg</a>&quot;&gt;<br>
...<br>
<br>
Then, to process that node in XSLT, you need either:<br>
<br>
&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;<a href="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" \
                target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform</a>&quot;<br>
                xmlns=&quot;<a href="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" \
                target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/2000/svg</a>&quot;&gt;<br>
...<br>
<br>
&lt;xsl:template match=&quot;svg&quot;&gt;<br>
...<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
&lt;xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;<a href="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" \
                target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform</a>&quot;<br>
                xmlns:svg=&quot;<a href="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" \
                target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/2000/svg</a>&quot;&gt;<br>
...<br>
&lt;xsl:template match=&quot;svg:svg&quot;&gt;<br>
...<br>
<br>
The first option is actually not very convenient, since it would also mean that the \
default namespace for the result tree will be the SVG namespace. The better practice \
is to bind a prefix and use qualified names in the matching patterns.<br>

HTH!<br>
