Description

i'm currently learning xsl with xalan-j. Besides working quite well there are two strange exceptions where xalan-j seems not to work at all.

When the root element of the source xml file is rdf:RDF or html (for an xhtml 1.0 file), the template for the "/" element matches, but no template for "html", "/html", "rdf:RFD" or "/rdf:RDF" matches. When i change the root elements to "xyz" in both files, the xml source file and the xsl stylesheet, then i get the template working. Changing it back to html resp. rdf:RDF stops the template working.

strange enough, but in a construct like:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

prints out the root element name, be it rdf:RDF or html. But:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="html"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/html"/>
</xsl:template>

does not call the appropriate template, neither the first call nor the second. The same for rdf:RDF. Any other root element i tested up to now works.
