Yes, my carelessness. The FO namespace was an artifact from an earlier 
customization effort.

Correct, now all that remains are the xhtml namespace attributes. 
Unfortunately, they invalidate the output with both the W3C validator 
and my desktop copy of CSE HTML Validator.

I've now retrenched to 4.01 Strict on the html side of the stylesheets 
because I find the switches and behavior variations on the xhtml side 
very confusing. My first accessibility requirement is to generate valid 
output and I haven't been able to do that with the xhtml stylesheets in 
combination with the customizations I need and processors (Instant 
Saxon, Win32 xsltproc.) More study & testing required; not enough time 
at the moment. Advice appreciated.

Thanks for your help.               ...edN
