Right! Confusing stuff it is....

Well, it is rather complex... I've got some 5 .xsl files involved, 
partly in a pipeline, and partly by importing it. I couldn't find a way 
to make xsltproc process all the PI's in the XML, nor did I found a way 
it could take XML from stdin? 

Nevertheless, what I found is that in one of my stylesheets, I had 
defined a html: prefix, which I used for all XHTML elements, and no 
default namespace. Apparently, the prefix was inherited through the 
pipeline, and was the cause of the error. 

Processing with a lot of files rather than a pipeline, it seems like 
xsltproc's behaviour is identical to that of AxKit. 

I have always thought that prefix, whatever it is, whether it is just 
the default namespace or a prefix at all, is irrelevant, is long as the 
URI is correct... The old behaviour seemed to support that, but it 
seems to me that perhaps the old behaviour was faulty, since namespace 
code fixups was the major new thing in this version...?
 
Cheers,
