Three things I'd like to change in the Stylesheets: 1) Use xpath-default-namespace="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0", and stop using "tei:" all over.[1] 2) Change the prefix for our examples namespace[2] from "teix:" to "xmp:" or something similar. 3) Change the namespace used for functions and temporary elements to something other than "http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0". I'm thinking of xmlns:tp="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/programming" or some such. (1) and (2) are just conveniences, but the very kind of thing that a rub-a-dub-dub should clean up. (3), on the other hand, is needed because using the same namespace for functions in our XSLT as we do for elements in conformant documents is just plain wrong. The name "tei:duck" means something very different when it is the name of tei:duck(), an XSLT function, vs tei:duck, an element for manuscript description. Since they are different things, they should have different names. Not that we have any collisions at the moment, but namespaces were designed specifically to help avoid such collisions. So I think this is an important change, but want input as to what the namespace (and its prefix) should be. Notes ----- [1] Actually, I've already done this in odd2odds.xsl.
