that selects all elements called detailedDescription that are not in a
namespace.
But your document has
<Root name="D2" type="D2" xmlns="http://www.xyz.com/yyy/Plan">
<detailedDescription>D2</detailedDescription>
so the element is in the namespace http://www.xyz.com/yyy/Plan"
so add xmlns:P="http://www.xyz.com/yyy/Plan" to your xsl:stylesheet,
then go
<xsl:copy-of select="document('d3.xml')//P:detailedDescription"/>
This is normal XPath behaviour, nothing to do with the fact that this is
not the main input document.
