[xquery-talk] Generating xhtml from xml in no namespace

It's probably the "least worst" so far :) but the output also contains
XForms, so the function would have to only change elements in no
namespace and not all of them...

It's crying out for an xpath-default-namespace facility - is there an
"XQuery 2" in the pipeline that vendors can implement parts of now to
solve common problems like this?   (for example like Saxon provided
with the much needed xhtml output method way before xslt 2.0 was
finialised)

Or of course, the other "solution" is when xslt can operate directly
on the database   (did I say that on this list? :)
